Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1966
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
Lots 346 and 347 slightly corroded capsules. Slightly bin-soiled labels. Levels into neck. Lot 348 one capsule damage and one slightly corroded. Slightly bin-soiled labels. Levels: one into neck and one base of neck
Tasting note: Beautifully balanced, lovely classic honeyed 'barley sugar' bouquet, quite assertive, somehow managing to be plump as well as lean. Most recently noting its surprisingly deep orange-amber colour; caramelised... rich flavour. Perfect with the terrine of foie gras at Hal Lewis' 'Mr Gourmet' Investiture dinner at the Peabody Hotel, Memphis, Sept 1999 **** M.B.
