FINE SAUTERNES AND OLD BURGUNDY
Château Climens--Vintage 1955
Barsac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
One cut capsule. Sign of seepage. Very bin-soiled and slightly torn labels. Two labels badly damaged. Levels: two bottles base of neck, two very top-shoulder, one top-shoulder and one upper/top-shoulder
Tasting note: Impressive in cask, wonderfully even development throughout the 1970's into the 1980s. An astonishing orange rosehip amber with pale lemon rim; intense and heady fragrant floral bouquet. Still very sweet and full-bodied, with classic barley-sugar flavour and balance, good length, acidity creeping into prominence, lovely aftertaste. M.B.
