Château d'Yquem 1976 (12 BT)

Château d'Yquem 1976  

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé 

u. 7vts, 4ts, 1t/hs, 5 bin-soiled labels, 2 nicked labels, 1 damp-stained label, 1 wine-stained label, oxidized and slightly corroded capsules 

The harvest this year all came in from the second wave of picking. In 2014, such raisiny splendour, all apricots and sultanas, plus rich, creamy texture and a glorious walnut finish. The perfect comparison with the powerful 1975 - a judgement of Paris! Serena Sutcliffe, MW
