Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1921
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
Levels: upper-mid shoulder; slightly soiled labels, corroded capsules and signs of old seepages
Parcel: lots 32-33
Unquestionably the greatest Yquem of the 20 Century.
An unusually hot summer and early autumn which made it difficult for the red Bordeaux but perfect for Sauternes. I am almost ashamed to confess how many times I have tasted this wine. Often an alarmingly deep amber colour (as is the 1929 and 1937) but enormously rich, sweet, fleshy and fat - yet with an extraordinary delicate orange-blossom flavour. Great length and superb aftertaste. Last noted in September 1998. MB
