Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1959
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
Levels: bottom neck or better
"Superb. Very high sugar content and extract. Sweet and immensely
rich from first tasting in 1964 to the most recent. The last six
notes very consistent. Fairly deep amber gold, very bright;
beautiful bouquet variously described as heavenly crème brûlée,
vanilla, duck-egg custard! Creamy, honeyed, whiff of Cox's orange
pippins and charred oak, with enormous depth and more to yield.
Always sweet, full-bodied, powerful, masculine (as opposed to the
more feminine '53), touch of caramel and black treacle, luscious yet
could do with even more time in bottle." GVWB
