March 7, 2015 - Clear, golden brown color; roasted walnuts, dry apricots and orange with a hint of roasted walnuts on the nose. Smooth viscous apricot and citrus with understated sweetness with a perfect balance of acid. A big, wonderful mouth-feel hung in there for close to a minute. i kid you not! If I tasted this blind I would bet money it was a 1967 'Yquem. One sip and I felt transported back in time remembering that last case of 1967 'Yquem that was drinking so nicely the first seven or eight years of this century. Six of us shared this bottle and it went quick; it went down so easy we could have sat there all night drinking the stuff. My last bottle of three (see Mr. Jenning's notes above—Richard, I wish you could have tasted this one).
When I pulled it out of the rack I hesitated wondering if this wine was going to be drinkable. And it felt a little sticky around the bottom of the capsule; not a good sign. Little did I know that this bottle would be among my top-ten wines ever over the last 30+ years... A 50 year old Auslese!?!
