CHATEAU D'YQUEM 1976 |

Château d'Yquem 1976 Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classéu. 10bn, 2vts, labels damp affected, soiled and slightly scuffed, 1 wrinkled, 1 heavily scuffed, 1 slanted and nicked on the bottom, slightly corroded and worn capsules, 2 very minor signs of old seepageThe 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!
