Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1962
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
One slightly corroded capsule. John Harvey slip labels. Bin-soiled and stained labels, two damaged, one slightly damaged. Levels: one into neck, six base of neck, three top-shoulder
Tasting note: Most recently, at Yquem, recorked: medium-amber, 'paler than expected', open lime rim; very fragrant orange blossom, melon, caramel; medium-sweet delicious flavour - like thick-cut marmalade, some softness yet dry finish. Very much as programmed. Last tasted June 2003 **** Crisp and lovely now. Will keep M.B.
