Tasted blind. Dark gold, heavy like oil in the glass. Piercing nose full of energy. Notes of apricot, tan spice, orange, some grilled pineapple, and a little caramel. Rich and heavy in the mouth. Powerful. Guessed 83 Climens.

A brilliant old Sauternes in good condition. Aromas of barley sugar and a paraffin note. M plus intensity on the palate with great length. Thanks for bringing Jim Hunter.

Tasted blind. Dark brown gold with notes of warm orange sauce and spice. Flamboyant and rich. Long finish. A perfect finish to the wines tonight. Guessed mid-70's d'Yquem.

Old enough to lose the honey drop viscosity that I don’t like about this wine and nice acidity to bolster it this long.

A little lighter extraction than standard here, but beautifully balanced and still quite fresh.

Kept a library of bottles from various special evenings: this is one of them - in memory of Pauline Gilby. Thanks for this bottle. And the joy you bought us all.

Birth year Chateau d'Yquem for my 40th birthday. There are really no words.

The winner of the night (but not much of a surprise there...)

Rich. So rich it overwhelms the acidity that is hiding I think. Is better than the dessert it is paired with.
