CHATEAU D'YQUEM
Lying at Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Offered in bond, available duty paid
Château d'Yquem 1967
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
Not in original wooden case. Slightly corroded capsules. Slightly damp-marked labels. Levels: eleven base of neck, one top-shoulder
Tasting note: Always sweet of course and, though rich and ripe, with a welcome element of finesse. In June 2003, a vertical at Yquem, all recorked. The ’67 deepest of the younger vintages: orange amber with pure orange and gold highlights’ sweet; harmonious, honeyed, peach-blossom fragrance; rich yet crisp, assertive, fairly sweet but (after the ’76) appeared to be drying out. Very good acidity. Most recently: medium-gold; lovely, classic, crème brûlée bouquet; sweet, glorious flavour. Last tasted June 2005. At best *****
