YQUEM AND CLIMENS OF THE SUPERB 1929 VINTAGE
Lying in Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD)
Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1929
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
Embossed château capsule and branded cork. Remains of label only. Level top-shoulder
Tasting note: Sheer perfection on all but one of several memorable occasions. To summarise, slight colour variation though mostly a deep, rich amber, some a rose-tinted tawny; peaches and cream ride uppermost, also apricots (sorry to drag this out again, but it is so apposit), peeled sultanas, sometimes slightly chocolatey, always richly penetrating. Also so sweet, never seeming to dry out, its flavour being a concentration of all the fragrances just mentioned, with great length and exquisite aftertaste. ***** M.B.
