Description
Château d'Yquem 1961
Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé
u. 1bn, 1vts, 4ts, 5 bin soiled labels, 1 heavily faded label, 1 scuffed and corroded capsule, excellent color and clarity
This hot, dry year made it difficult for noble rot to develop so the harvest was late. A low yield, high alcohol wine. Kumquat and mandarins on the nose. A real tarry kickback to it. Deep oranges all through. The sweetness is drying up and the roasted element is taking over giving it a very individual character. Seize it now. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
