Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1970
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
In 1970 Yquem wooden case, not original; five slightly sunken corks, two with signs of old seepage, stained neck labels, mixed importer slip labels
"Somewhat less evolved than the 1971, and for me always a shade less interesting and complex, the 1970 Yquem is a large-scaled, rich, full-bodied, fairly alcoholic Yquem with significant flavor interest as well as crisp acidity. Unlike the 1971, which is close to peak maturity, this wine has a long way to go and is impressive, but not yet revealing all of its potential. Anticipated maturity: Now-2025." Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (Jan 1998)
