Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1921
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé. Château-bottled
Level: very top shoulder; short, château embossed capsule, château and vintage clearly visible on cork below capsule, bin soiled and damp stained label, dark mahogany color
Tasting Note: "Certainly not dark, but in my last five notes varying from fairly deep, at best a warm amber-gold, on one occasion reminding me of an old oloroso sherry, on another Bual madeira-like, with a pronounced apple-green rim. The bouquet, very rich, honeyed of course, peachy, barley sugar (boiled and spun sugar), intense yet fragrant, 'custard cream', crème brûlee yet again, but very true. On the palate from sweet to very sweet, depending I think on context, unquestionably rich, powerful, even assertive, great length and intensity, and supported by life-preserving acidity. One of life's sublime experiences." MB, December 2000
