FINE SAUTERNES
Chteau d'Yquem--Vintage 1955
Sauternes, 1er grand cru class. Chteau-bottled
Cruse slip label. Level very top-shoulder
Tasting note: Impressive in cask, wonderfully even development thoroughout the 1970s into the 1980s. Summarising recent notes: an astonishing orange rosehip amber with pale lemon rim; intense and heady fragrant floral bouquet. Still very sweet and full-bodied, with classic barley-sugar flavour and balance, good length, acidity creeping into prominence, lovely aftertaste. ***** M.B.
