Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1945
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé. Château-bottled
Lot 473 with remains of label, lot 474 label missing. Levels base of neck
An elegant yet concentrated 'honey and flowers' Yquem. 'Clover honey' and 'orange blossom' recur in my notes. The loveliest of colours, warm gold, pure gold; bouquet perfection, opening up in the glass like a water lily; still sweet, intense, great length. Last tasted in Sept 1998. Another quarter century of life. MB
