Salon Brut, Le Mesnil--Vintage 1971
Slightly torn capsule
"Went surprisingly well with truffle surprise in Gewürztraminer Aspic, squab feuillate au jus. Modesty almost forbids me to say that it was at a Society of Bacchus 'Celebration of Spring 1992', 'honoring' (sic) myself. The description might almost have applied to me: palish, very little sparkle, showing age; dry, medium-full body, firm and a trifle acidic. Actually, it had a touch of gold and was excellent. Most recently: palish, attractive, very little sparkle; refined, old straw and walnuts; fairly dry, showing considerable maturity but very good, with exceptional persistence of flavour. 'Refined' noted again. Last tasted at a pre-sale dinner in honour of Lenoir M Josey, New York, November 2000 ****" MB, Vintage Wine
