1990 Chateau d'Yquem

[Kcwhippet]

Back about 10 years ago when the original MacKinnons in Sudbury was going belly up Helmut the wine manager took me into his office and pulled out a 375 he wanted me to try. It was a 1929 d'Yquem, and it was going very brown, but when he opened it we could smell a fantastic aroma. He poured us each about 2 oz and we marveled at the nose. Then the taste!! It was awesome - still!! It was one of those orgasmic wine experiences that come up so seldom.
