The ultimate trophy wine. This famous, 215-year-old "Thomas Jefferson" bottle is a beauty by every standard. So young--like some of the outstanding Yquems from the mid-1800s--it shows no oxidation. From a vintage considered very good in Sauternes, it offers delicious tropical, dried apricot, honey and truffle aromas and flavors, and a round and harmonious, still-sweet finish. A mythical, beautiful bottle that should be kept with great care--and not drunk. (From a bottle with the original cork and with "Th.J." marked on the glass.)--Yquem vertical. –PM
