Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1959
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
Slightly bin-soiled label. Level into neck
Tasting note: Four fairly recent notes. In March 2002, a perfect bottle: rich apricot and lime blossom fragrance; sweet, powerful, its flesh and fruit balanced by its excellent acidity. A month later, a similar note, fabulous flavour and aftertaste. In 2004, a warm amber-gold; caramelised old apricots; very rich, full flavour and body, excellent length. Most recently: old gold; glorious bouquet and flavour; very sweet, full, rich, magnificent. Michael Broadbent, June 2005
