Community Tasting Note

95 Points

Friday, February 26, 2021 - 1986 vertical Bordeaux Grand cru Classé etc (19 wines) - Wine tasting dinner semi blind (Nordsjaelland): The surprise of the evening. I really love Sauternes but usually I don't appreciate older Sauternes as I find them too deliberate oxidised. One example is 1990, which I have tasted several times and find too tertiary in the wrong way. My all time favourite is 2001, which I know many find too young. Not for me - it's perfect. However this bottle from 1975 was outstanding, not as good as 2001 - which might be an impossible target - but nevertheless outstanding with well balanced tertiary notes. 95+
