Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1959
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: fairly deep amber gold, very bright; beautiful bouquet variously described as heavenly crème brûlée, vanilla, duck-egg custard!, creamy, honeyed, wiff of Cox's orange pippins and charred oak, with enormous depth and more to yield. Always sweet, full-bodied, powerful, masculine, touch of caramel and black treacle. (M.B. GVWB II)
