Château d'Yquem 1971 (3 BT)

Château d'Yquem 1971

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé

u. 3ts, heavily bin-soiled labels, 1 torn label, oxidized and partly corroded capsules

Wonderful fresh, orange blossom, aromatic nose of enormous style. Great sweet clementines on the palate. Perfect acidity balance, which is not present in the 1970 - this has more attack and freshness. Very tempting. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
