Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1945
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
Level: upper shoulder; damp stained label, mid mahogany
The 1945 is, by all responsible accounts, a magnificent wine. However, the bottle I tasted in October 1995 was brown and slightly maderized, although well-perfumed, but drying out. With any tasting of a wine over 20 years of age, it should be remembered that "there are no great wines, only gret bottles" Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition #B1 Jan 1998.
