Chateau d'Yquem 1976


I was very fortunate to have a glass of this at a significant birthday on Sunday. It was everything that I expected and more, unctuous, honeyed, herbal, almost medicinal, with that intense sweetness balanced with a raging acidity. It's not often in life that we get to try such things, and the moment should be savoured. Thanks Jo and David for your hospitality, and Liz for the wine.
