Chateau d'Yquem '71

[TheEngineer]

I pulled a bottle of the 2008 that I had tasted when I visited Yquem. That taste,...no experience,...still lingers fondly. I say experience because as Brappy noted (and I wish he'd come back...) it was as much about the mouthfeel of the wine. He is absolutely right, the 2008 seem to lay lightly on my tongue, or float as Brappy noted. The finish is one of supreme "contentment and comfort" for the next hour, my mouth felt great! just like the finish of an old and aged oolong tea....

I put the bottle back as I had not been a good enough boy to open this.... Reached for a Scotch instead to pacify the urge.
