Details
Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1939
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé. Château-bottled
Impeccable appearance. Believed to have been recorked at the Château, though the branding on the corks is indistinct through compression
A lighter but much scarcer vintage than the '37.
Tasting note: at its best, as with this provenance and storage, a good amber-gold colour; very rich crème brûlée bouquet; drying out a little, but still rich and fat, with good length and aftertaste.
Last tasted February 1988. At best ****
