Lying at Christie's
Chteau d'Yquem--Vintage 1900

Impeccable appearance. Recorked by the Chteau in 1999, the contents of lot 169 having been used to top up these five. Original cork taped to lot 164. Levels very top-shoulder
A beautiful bottle in 1972. In 1984, a low-shoulder bottle, deep; maderised nose; yet still sweet and surviving. A third, Bordeaux-bottled by H. Wulffe. High-shoulder. Colour of warm oloroso; bouquet of nutmeg, old honey, very rich; fairly sweet, full-bodied, concentrated. M.B.
