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.

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.
