Château d'Yquem 1967 (1 BT)

Château d'Yquem 1967 

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé

u. vts, slightly scuffed label and capsule

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
