Château d'Yquem 1944
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
Corroded capsules, two with signs of old seepage. Very dusty badly bin-soiled labels, one stained. Levels: four top-shoulder and two just below top-shoulder
Tasting note: Deep amber color. Old caramel on fairly sweet nose followed by dried flowers and marmalade. Later on more smoky tones presenting even more charm.
Refined taste, drier than expected at first. Indian spices and dried oranges prevailed on the aromatic palette. After half an hour showing more smoothness. Refined class! Last tasted April 2017. EV.
