Château d'Yquem 1937 (2 BT)

Château d'Yquem 1937

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé

1    bt - u. ts, label heavily soiled, faded and damp affected, corroded capsule, 1 bt - u. hs, soiled label reaffixed with clear tape, vintage on capsule top, wartime glass, worn short capsule

This was a dry, but not very hot year. 33 days of picking over 4 weeks without rain, beginning on 21 September and finishing on 6 November.  Deep glowing amber. Nose of tangerines and spice. The nutmeg creeps up on you. A note of drying petals - pot pourri. Glorious crème brûlée on the palate. Tarry, Seville orange marmalade. Burnt, caramelised oranges. Creamier and creamier in the glass. On its 70th birthday, it had a very smoky nose, fig skins and pomegranates. Will 1986, with which it is sometimes compared, ever be as concentrated? Kumquats. A huge, mythical mouthful. Massive. Liquorice. Terrific, pure richness. Smoky fig skins in the oven at the end.  Serena Sutcliffe, MW

氣候乾燥溫和。採摘期9月21日始, 11月6日終, 適逢久旱無雨。深邃透亮琥珀酒色。柑橘和香料氣息盈溢。荳蔻香活潑跳躍。一絲絲百花香似音符靈動。法式焦糖布丁的華麗口感。焦油氣息與西維爾香橙果醬味纏綿--焦香甜橙。杯中質地更濃厚柔潤。陳年70載, 煙燻氣息撲鼻, 無花果皮及紅石榴味並駕齊驅。常被相提並論的年份1986難道會更勝一籌? 金桔香神秘濃郁,甘草味醇厚。純淨豐腴。令人驚嘆。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
