BORDEAUX AND BURGUNDY FROM THE 50S AND 60S
Property of a Northeastern Gentleman
All wines were purchased upon released, and stored in a custom built temperature controlled room maintaining 50-55 degrees year round.
Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1959
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
Levels: all into neck, labels damp stained and fragile, three torn, one cork slightly rasied, excellent color
"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
