Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1971
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
In original wooden case, damaged lid. Two very slightly corroded capsules, three with slight signs of seepage. Eight bin-soiled labels, one faded, two illegible vintages. Levels: top-shoulder or better
Tasting note: The best vintage between 1967 and '75. Richly coloured; barley-sugar and caramel nose; sweet and rich, a glamorous powerhouse of a wine with perfect counterbalancing acidity. Last tasted Sept 1999 ***** M.B.
