Château d'Yquem 1961 (3 BT)

Château d'Yquem 1961

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé

In original individual owcs

This hot, dry year made it difficult for noble rot to develop so the harvest was late. A low yield, high alcohol wine. Kumquat and mandarins on the nose. A real tarry kickback to it. Deep oranges all through. The sweetness is drying up and the roasted element is taking over giving it a very individual character. Seize it now. Serena Sutcliffe, MW 

當年天氣炎熱乾燥，貴腐菌難以滋生，因此較晚收成，是一款低產量、酒精度高的佳釀。洋溢金錢桔、柑橘與香橙的芬芳，醇正的焦油香緊接而至。甜味逐漸散去後，一股烘培香味襲來，賦予美酒獨特的個性。機不可失！
