Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1893
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
Level: top shoulder; bin soiled label, recorked at the Château
"Tasted on three occasions, all memorable. First, in 1995 at Peter Zeigler's outstanding rare wine tatsing at the Schlosshotel Erbach: warm orange-amber; deep, rich, honeyed bouquet reminiscent of ripe apricots, peaches and overripe grapes; very rich, powerful, fairly high volatile acidity, alcoholic, impressive. Next, in 1996 served with foie gras at a great wine dinner in Oslo hosted by a major collector of wine, Christian Sveaas: a similar description to the bottle tasted in 1995: incredible power, almost pungent, in perfect condition (I gave it 6 stars!). ***** plus.
