A SELECTION OF RARE YQUEM FROM OUTSTANDING VINTAGES
Not in original wooden cases
Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1900
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé. Château-bottled
Reconditioned and recorked at the Château in 1993. Branded cork and new embossed Château capsule. Level base of neck. Medium amber colour
Tasting Note: Harvested over an extended period, 19 September - 29 November. Four notes, very variable dependant as always on level, condition (and provenance). A beautiful bottle in 1972; a low-shoulder, maderised yet still sweet and surviving bottle in 1984. The most interesting, bottled in Bordeaux by H Wulffe, had a bouquet of nutmeg and old honey, concentrated but lacking in length (in Chicago 1988). M.B.
