YQUEM 1955 AND "Y" 1985
Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1955
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
Offered in a carton. Four bottles have remains of label only, the last one has a very bin-soiled label. Levels: two base of neck, one top-shoulder, one just below top-shoulder and one upper-shoulder
Tasting note: Two fairly recent notes. First, at the chteau, recorked, in June 2003: deeper than expected, tawny amber with orange tinge; hefty style but fragrant and harmonious; medium-sweet, assertive, with 'hot' dry finish. Most recently, from an English country cellar: extraordinarily deep, like amber gold, unpolished brass buttons; fully evolved, glorious bouquet, crme brle and orange blossom; sweet, very rich, tangy.
