Chteau d'Yquem--Vintage 1955
Sauternes, 1er grand cru class. Chteau-bottled
Lightly bin-soiled labels, some slightly torn. Levels: lots 363 and 364 base of neck or better. Lot 365 two base of neck and one top-shoulder
Tasting note: Impressive in cask, wonderfully even development thoroughout the 1970s into the 1980s. Summarising recent notes: an astonishing orange rosehip amber with pale lemon rim; intense and heady fragrant floral bouquet. Still very sweet and full-bodied, with classic barley-sugar flavour and balance, good length, acidity creaping into prominence, lovely aftertaste. ***** M.B.
