Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1976
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
Bin-soiled labels. Levels base of neck or better
Tasting Note: The 1976 Yquem continues to go from strength to strength. Who can ignore the awesome bouquet of spices, honeyed fruit, pineapples, bananas, coconuts, and overripe melons? This full-bodied, viscous, luscious wine has been absolutely delicious since bottling, given its relatively low acidity and precocious personality. It is one of the few true great vintages of Yquem that can actually be drunk with tremendous pleasure at such a young age. Eighty percent of the harvest made it into the final wine. Anticipated maturity: Now-2025. Last tasted, 12/90. Robert Parker, The Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition, Jan 1998
