Château d'Yquem 1976 (12 BT)

Château d'Yquem 1976

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé

u. 10bn, 2vts, slightly scuffed and damp stained labels, scuffed and slightly corroded capsules, 3 of which are nicked, 5 slightly sunken corks

The harvest this year all came in from the second wave of picking. In 2014, such raisiny splendour, all apricots and sultanas, plus rich, creamy texture and a glorious walnut finish. The perfect comparison with the powerful 1975 - a judgement of Paris! Serena Sutcliffe, MW
