YQUEM FROM 1945, 1949, 1959
Offered in cartons
Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1945
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
Bin-soiled label. Slight signs of seepage. Level just below top-shoulder
Tasting note: Two notes in 2003, the first at the chteau, recorked: fairly deep, orange-amber colour of Verdelho, orange-amber; bouquet of orange peel and crme brle; 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. Michael Broadbent, Nov 2003
