Chteau d'Yquem--Vintage 1921
Sauternes, 1er grand cru class. Chteau-bottled
Recorked at the Chteau in 1993. Slightly creased label. Level into neck
Considered the greatest Yquem vintage since 1847 and unquestionably the most magnificent of the present century. Many notes over the past quarter of a century, all spectacular though some deeper and more Madeira-like. At its most perfect best at the same dinner as the 1893, but served at the end of the meal: medium - not deep - warm amber gold; glorious peaches and barley sugar bouquet that blossomed in the glass; medium sweet though very rich and assertive, with high but excellent acidity and great length. Last tasted April 1996. MB
