Everyone agrees that no greater wine was made in 1967 than Chateau d'Yquem, but I would love to have the opportunity to taste Gilette's 1967 Creme de Tete alongside Yquem. This fabulously rich wine has an awesomely intense bouquet of caramel and buttery hazelnuts, combined with intense aromas of honeyed fruit such as pineapples, oranges, and apricots. Decadently rich, with an unctuous, chewy texture, yet with enough acidity to provide great delineation and balance, this is a magnificent wine that has miraculously retained an amazing freshness for its 23 years of age. It should continue to evolve and improve for another 30, perhaps even 40, years. This is an outrageous thrill-a-sip Sauternes! Anticipated maturity: Now-2025. Last tasted, 3/90.
