PRIVATE STOCKS OF EXCELLENT YQUEM
Lying in Middlesex
Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1921
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé. Château-bottled
Very damaged label, vintage illegible. Level top-shoulder
Tasting note: the bouquet, very rich, honeyed of course, peachy, barley sugar, intense yet fragrant, 'custard cream', crème brûlée yet again, but very true. On the palate from sweet to very sweet, depending I think on the context, unquestionably rich, powerful, even assertive, great length and intensity, and supported by life-preserving acidity. One of life's sublime experiences. ***** M.B. (Dec. 2000)
