Description
Château d'Yquem 1959
Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé
u. 6bn, 2vts, 1ts, 3t/hs, 3 slightly damp soiled labels, 1 damp soiled label, 6 torn, scuffed and soiled labels, excellent color and clarity, 2 heavily torn labels with vintages partially illegible
This was a quick, early vintage at Yquem. I have tasted it many times and it is always an enormous treat, sumptuous, mouth-coating and full of apricots, currants and raisins. It has lavender on the bouquet as well as that hugely rich, candied peel taste. Amazing depth and broadness. Excellent tarry acidity. Lavender flowers at the end. A star among Yquems.
