Château d'Yquem 1980

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé

u. 7vts, 1ts, 5 slightly damp-stained labels, 1 damp-stained label, 3 slight tissue adhered to labels, import labels slightly overlapping main labels, packed in 12-bottle owc

Very reined-in bouquet at first, which then develops delightfully. Very lemony, almost Barsac taste. Length of flavour. More complex than 1979. Elegant, with a touch of tar at the end. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
