Château d'Yquem--Believed 1870-1880
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé. Château-bottled
Corks branded "Yquem, Lur Saluces", but no vintage legible. Blue body labels "A. Perpignan et Frères, Bordeaux. Labels good. Level in the first lot join of neck. In the second lot upper-shoulder
A very similar bottle with a very low-shoulder level was opened, the cork falling in when touched. The wine was in relatively good condition, very dark colour, still sweet, burnt and oxidised in flavour, but still sound and very drinkable
1 bottle per lot
