Description
Château d'Yquem 1967
Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé
u. 1bn, 1vts, damp stained, torn and wrinkled labels, 1 label reapplied to bottle with tape, 1 loose label, 1 cork raised, excellent color and clarity
I am lucky enough to drink this quite often and it is a vinous monument. There is always a real bouquet of developed botrytis and a sense of 'torched' crème brûlée, dried apricots and 'raisins de Corinthe' together with orange zests and beautiful acidity. I have also noted smokiness and hazelnuts. My most recent tasting showed tea, oranges, clementines and allspice and was absolutely fascinating. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
