CHATEAU D'YQUEM 1967 |

Château d'Yquem 1967 Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classéu. vts, slightly bin-soiled label, pen-inscription on labelI am lucky enough to drink this quite often and it is a vinous monument. There is always a real bouquet of developed botrytis and a sense of 'torched' crème brûlée, dried apricots and 'raisins de Corinthe' together with orange zests and beautiful acidity. I have also noted smokiness and hazelnuts. My most recent tasting showed tea, oranges, clementines and allspice and was absolutely fascinating. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 931 bt (cn)Estimates are per lot
