Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1945
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
Very slightly corroded capsule. Slightly damaged label. Level very top-shoulder. Good colour
Tasting Note: Two notes in 2003, the first at the chbteau, recorked: fairly deep, orange-amber colour of Verdelho, orange-amber; bouquet of orange peel and crème brûlée; medium-sweet, concentrated, assertive, very rich, dry finish with highish volatile acidity. The second, five months later: also deep, with rich golden highlights; similar nose, rich, 'singed'; noted as very sweet yet crisp, with glorious flavour and length. High volatile acidity noted again which gave the wine added vibrancy and piquancy. Last tasted Now 2003 ***** M.B.
