Château d'Yquem 1959 (1 BT)

Château d'Yquem 1959

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé

u. bn, torn, bin soiled, and wine stained label, ex-Sotheby's Aulden Cellars

This was a quick, early vintage at Yquem. I have tasted it many t.mes s and it is always an enormous treat, sumptuous, mouth-coating and full of apricots, currants and raisins. It has lavender on the bouquet as well as that hugely rich, candied peel taste. Amazing depth and broadness. Excellent tarry acidity. Lavender flowers at the end. A star among Yquems. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
