January 30, 2024 - Decanted for 2 hours. Very rich and bright. Still has years of life.

December 28, 2020 - Dense, orangey nose with admirable concentration but not quite as much complexity as you might expect from a 67. Lively, zippy acid, tangy in the mouth. Engaging.

September 1, 2017 - A Night to Remember - Don and Sally's 50th Wedding Anniversary (Don and Sally's Home): Bright deep orange gold. Much more deeply colored, longer, richer, hints of coconut, classic Sauternes creme brulee, maple syrup, toffee, hard rock candy, seriously long finish.

February 28, 2017 - 50th Birthday Celebration Dinner with Wine (Hughes House - Chicago IL): Served in 1967 Sauternes flight. An odd bottle. Started sweet, then had a slightly bitter finish that didn't thrill me. some thought it might be slightly corked, but it was too late in the evening to know for certain.

July 23, 2016 - Summer 2016. Alongside Yquem 66 and 69. This is a beast of a wine. Like a glass of the finest Seville marmalade. Oranges, grapefruits, lemon, honey and a hint of soapiness. The fruit was which much more evident than the botrytis, hence it lacked some of the complexity that the great terroirs offer.
