Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1929
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé. Château-bottled
Lots 265 & 266 recorked at the Château in 1988. Lots 267 and 268 recorked at the Château in 1989. Levels: lot 265 base neck, lot 266 top-shoulder. In lot 267 upper-top-shoulder. Lot 268 upper-shoulder and lot 269 mid-shoulder
Glorious vintage, glorious wine.
Tasting note: do not be misled by the deep colour, common to the other richest vintages of Yquem, 1921 and 1937. A deep amber verging on rose-tinted tawny; bouquet of peaches and cream; sweet yet not unctuous, full bodied, concentrated, with great length and exquisite aftertaste. Another 50 years of life!
Last tasted February 1988 *****
