  December 19, 2022 - Still drinking great. Lighter flavors of peach, apricot, and apple with nice spice. Showed more delicate as expected vs the richer riper 1988 Yquem

  November 12, 2021 - Getting the gang together @ Wus (plus birthdays!) (Wu's Wonton King): These old ZHs are always good and maybe even my style since the acid really balances the sweet. Tasting good!

  March 13, 2015 - Bad bottle or just the wine is past its best. its 5 years since we had this before (and then rated 94) but today it felt just average and uninspiring. The nose of ripe fruit, smells sweet as a TN says below, but the wine has a bitter edge to it. Almost difficult and with no depth of vibrant side. Almost like its past its time. 87 at best

  February 3, 2015 - Nose of dried apricots, roses, lychee, smoke, and some orange. Palate is rich and dense, lots of smoke. Layers of fruit, smoke, and Gewurz spice. Nice punch on the back end. A lovely, complicated wine.

  November 24, 2014 - Smells sweet, very sauternes-like, and this is the flavour thought it's fairly dry on the finish. Nice but lacks zing.
