Description
Château d'Yquem 1949
Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé
Tissue wrapped, purchased from Sotheby's Hong Kong 'The Collection from the Cellars of Château D'Yquem' in May 2010, recorked in 2010 with new labels and capsules
Bright orange amber. Clementines and nectarines on the nose. Perfumed and almost floral, which is amazing in a wine of this age. Orange cream. Smooth as silk on the palate. Very toasty and woodsmoky - like smoked Seville oranges. Dried zests and caramelised sugar. Ends so full of orangey freshness. Tasted again at 58 years old - so extraordinary, with its orange zests bouquet and fabulous gingerbread flavour. In 2007 it is still so fresh, sublimely full of clementines. Absolutely seamless. Cape gooseberry and dates. A brilliant heart to it. Lychees, poppy seeds and almost minty. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
