Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1947
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
Level: top shoulder; lightly bin soiled label and slightly nicked label
"Harvested 13 September-13 October. First tasted in 1954: 'incomparable, luscious', and 14 times since. Never a poor bottle. Perfect, glowing amber-gold with apple-green rim; bouquet - well, the usual thing only more so, yet totally harmonious; still remarkably sweet, moutfilling with a singed hot-vintage character. Always decant a wine like this. It looks the purest glowing gold in a decanter by candlelight. The most recent bottle had been imported many years ago by Browne-Vintners, New York, survived cellarage and the recent journey back to Munich. Last noted Sept 1998 *****" MB, Vintage Wine
