  What else could possibly cap a night with '19 Lavantureux, '96 Calon, '85 GL, and '89 Huet? (Not to mention the '11 Jouan Clos Sorbe that apparently received no tasting notes because it was so outclassed)
  
  Just outstanding in every way. The perceived acidity paradoxically increases as it warms. (Genuinely, this goes against all of my understanding of temperature and taste) All the creamy, tropical typical notes. An even more complex nose than ever before with Riesling. Banana, pineapple, guava, passion fruit, stone fruit, white flowers, lemon lemon lemon. That fucking Altoids sour note again, can't remember which wine that was. Slightly grassy. Delightful.

  Light-medium yellow. Intense nose of tropical fruit, lemons, ginger. Complex tightly focused ripe fruits, perfectly balanced acidity, long finish. Could go on like this for decades. Outstanding.

  Amazingly fresh and vibrant - you would never have guessed its age!
  
  Rich gold in colour and then juicy, syrupy peaches and apricots on nose and palate with cleansing acidity. Absolutely amazing!

  Amazing - and another contender for my wine of the year! And held up very well (and perhaps edged it) next to a 1998 Climens.
  
  Wonderfully despite its age. Vibrant citrus fruit on the nose and a rich, full palate with balancing acidity. A real treat. Will probably keep but I'll be drinking my other bottle of this soon.

  Completely gone. Treacly in a colour with a mean palate. The cork had sunk a bit so this was probably badly oxidised. A real shame given how well this wine is still showing according to everyone else's tasting notes!
