83 Château Gilette

1983 Château Gilette;
Golden, apricots, peach and a somewhat oxidized style, for me typical og Gilette. Fresh acidity, quite elegant, more polished now than earlier bottles, still needs more time, a bit edgy finish. Feels fresher than Rieussec and Suduiraut of the same vintage. 88 Only about 5000 bottles are made of this in good vintages, stored in huge cement vats until release at often 20 years of age.
