Lot Details

Description

Château d'Yquem 2005 

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé 

7 slightly wine-stained labels, Mexico import tags adhered to capsules


I have always found that this wine veers between the classic and the exotic and pineappley. Great concentration and beauty of fruit on the nose, with enormous length, opulence and succulence on the palate. Exceptional - in other words, 'hors classe'. Soars above everything around it.
