Details
Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1847
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé. Château-bottled
Re-corked at the Château in 1995. Excellent appearance
With 1811, one of the two legendary vintages of the nineteenth century and only twice previously sold at Christie's in recent years. Tasting note: Deep old amber with apple-green rim; rich, raisiny bouquet, amazing power, vanilla-scented peaches and cream; still sweet, full-bodied, positively thick, very intense, concentrated, great length. One of the greatest wines ever tasted (JMB: GVWB II)
