A FABULOUS PRIVATE CELLAR OF SWEET WINES FROM SAUTERNES INCLUDING GREAT VINTAGES SUCH AS 1929, 1937, 1945, 1947, 1950 AND 1959...
Not in original cases
Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1929
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé. Château-bottled
Lot 470: Slightly corroded capsule, very bin-soiled and torn label, level top-shoulder, very deep colour. Lot 471: Corroded capsule, no label, level top-shoulder, very deep colour
Tasting note: a glorious vintage; a better balanced, sweeter, softer lusciousness than either the '21or the 1937. If kept in good condition, still perfection. However, 29's tend to be deep in colour, to the extent that those who are unaware of this tend to assume that the wine is maderised. Not so. Deep, rich amber, some rose-tinted tawny, all beautifully coloured, the top note of its bouquet seems to be 'cream', peaches, apricots, peeled sultanas, rich slightly toasted, always sweet, full of body, extract and flavour, concentrated, with a great length and exquisite aftertaste. M.B.
