Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1921
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
One very corroded capsule. Two slightly raised and one schriveled corks. Five bottles with no labels, two with remains of labels only (vintage legible), two bin-soiled and stained labels. Levels: two into neck, one top, one just below top, three upper, one mid/upper and one mid-shoulder
Tasting Notes: A colossus. Perharps the most staggeringly rich Yquem of all time, certainly since the towering 1847. A word of advice: do not be put off by the dark colour. This is correct and the same applies to a slightly lesser extent with Yquem 1929 and 1937. On the palate from sweet to very sweet, depending I think on context, unquestionably rich, powerful, even assertive, great lenght and intensity, and supported by-preserving acidity. One of life's sublime experiences. Dec 2000 ***** M.B.
