I started to write a note for the 2014 and then, when I was nearly finished, I recalled that I had previously enjoyed this vintage a few years back. I went back to my notes on May 24, 2023 and I gotta say, my notes still nailed it. Liquid stars. Drink now until your last breath.

From a half-bottle. This was the pièce de résistance to our evening (although someone apparently opened a Gravner that I somehow missed). Anyway, the thing about d’Yquem is that you don’t have to love Sauternes to fall head over heels for it. This was liquid stars. The sheer density is out of this world. Loaded with tropical fruits, exotic honey, stone fruits and minerals. Gorgeously textured and brilliant acidity to make it all work. A forever finish. I don't know how a wine like this could ever die.

This is a fabulous sweet wine from Bordeaux. Dark Golden in color. Beautiful sweet nose of honey, yellow apples, apricots, honeysuckle, lemons, caramel, spices and white pepper. Full bodied and bold, with high acidity. Sweet on the palate with honey, citrus, tropical fruits, spices, lemons and brown sugar. Long, long finish with citrus and limes. This 8 year old still feels very young and concentrated. Nicely balanced with lots of acidity to balance the sugars. Tangy and interesting with a heavy mouthfeel. Rich, yet elegant. Sweet and powerful. Creamy and bold. A delicious experience. Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime. A great vintage that shows its power. Already showing great complexity, but will age nicely in the next 50 years. Decadent and delicious. A fabulous dessert wine. 13.5% alcohol by volume. 97 points. $250 (375ml).

Stone fruits and citrus blossoms on the nose. Thick & waxy. Stone fruit heaven, marmalade, pineapples, dry apricots, granulated soft minerality and dead on acidity. Beautiful finish that last a full minute.

2014. Enjoyed a small splash at the end of a great birthday meal at The Oven! Such pure stone fruit and honeyed aromas and flavors with balanced sweetness and acidity.

2014 vintage. From a 375ml effort. Tasted after being open for 1.5 hours and in the 48-50 degree range. Heavy bod. Plenty of candied orange fruit and unfiltered honey/mead. Just starting to get “interesting.” Needs another decade to add the ole pizzazz. 3.21.26.

2014 vintage. 375 ML format. Tasted with @Neil Valenzuela Gorgeous, somewhat candied and dominant melon fruits evident currently. In the youthful, know it all phase now. Has the basis/structure for the long haul. Load up the truck now or in three decades. Thank you @Neil Valenzuela So good. 12.10.25.
