Description
Château d'Yquem 1967
Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé
u. 2bn, 2vts, 1ts, damp spotted and soiled labels, 1 stained label, nicked and damaged capsules, 1 corroded capsule, 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
