Delightful. Mouth-coating and viscous. Sweet without being unctuous. Botrytis prevalence rang through. A delicate bead of acid was a perfect counterpoint to the tropical fruits, lemon and orange blossoms, pineapple, quince, and candied orange zest. Tasted from 3 different bottles and all were consistent.

Brought by a friend for dessert and put on ice during dinner. Medium-gold. Some tartrate crystals. Muted botrytis nose with some sandalwood overtones. Acid was still there. Interesting how it has aged, but my 83’s have nothing to worry about.

Winefield's pre sale tasting: a modest vintage, but showing well with cinnamon, caramel, some wood, a dry twist (some botrytis?) and firm bitters; absolutely very interesting to taste.

From 750. Fabulous expression of botyris. Many decades left but tonight was an ideal night to enjoy with friends! Bravo.
