Château Climens--Vintage 1929
Barsac, 1er cru classé
Worn and slightly damaged capsule. Bin-soiled and faded label. Level upper-shoulder
Tasting note: Five notes from 1965. Softer and creamier than the '28. 'Perfect. Won't improve' (in 1980). Though not tasted recently, this is unquestionably one of the greatest vintages of one of the most consistently well made Sauternes (1er cru Barsac to be more precise). As I last noted, far more crème and far less brûlée than most old Sauternes. Perfection. Last noted March 1983 ***** M.B.
