Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1937
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé. Château-bottled
Lot 23 recorked in 1991. Level very top-shoulder. Lot 24 recorked in 1998. Level base of neck. Lots 25, 26, 27 and 28 recorked in 2000. Levels base of neck
Parcel: lot 25 to 28
Tasting note: Normally, and at best, a deepish glowing amber gold with touch of orange (never as deep as the '29 or '21); perfect bouquet (how can one put perfection into words ?); honeyed, fragrant, orange blossom, gushing forth an endless succession of scents from seemingly immeasurable depths. On the palate sweet, full-bodied, rich, concentrated, ambrosial barley-sugar, wonderful length, acidity, aftertaste. Most recently a magnum: an explosive bouquet and almost exaggerated flavour. M.B.
