  Deep burnt-orange color reminiscent of a Sauternes of similar age, very musty when opened, after more than an hour this turned into a very compelling wine. Juicy ripe apricot and yellow peach, citrus (grapefruit/lemon) with a richness and savoury herbal character only this kind of age could bring. Full and lithe in the same moment, came across with a sweetness unexpected at Kab level but .. 71 is exceptional in many ways. Easy to see how Spat/Aus etc would offer more.. saying this was just slightly simple in breadth of flavor. Very happy to find it drinking well not being certain of past cellar conditions.. Expect 10+ years of great drinking.

  Dinner with Egon Müller IV at Daniel (New York, NY): Ex-Muller Cellar. The color is bright oat-straw and this wine has a fully mature nose offering up dried aster and golden flax. On the pallet the wine has an initial taste of dry chamomile, and transitions with the extraction of sunflower. The acid structure is broad and the length is ample.

  Golden hue and slightly oxidized nose with some fruit still there. Definitely on it very last legs. Some fruit on the initial taste and then it faded rather quickly. It was fun to try it, but obviously over the hill at this point.
