  April 22, 2015 - First Growths, Yquem, 100+Madeira (John V.'s): What a wild tasting. This almost got overlooked between the first growths and the Madeira's. But Wow. I kept going back to it. From a 375. Just a perfect wine IMO. So much better than a recent 05 or 10. Light golden in color. The nose has honey, floral notes, pineapple and citrus. Viscous. Sweet not cloying. The palate matches the nose with such a great persistence. An incredibly long finish. Wow. Perhaps not quite the 2001 but it would be great to drink them side by side to see.
