FINE OLD SAUTERNES INCLUDING YQUEM
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1949
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
Good amber colour, not deep. Slightly bin-soiled and slightly stained label. Level top-shoulder
Tasting note: Most recently, at the château, recorked: bright, medium-deep amber with shades of orange-tawny; very rich, deep, harmonious bouquet, soft, fragrant, perfect; sweet, full, rich yet not hefty, drying out a little its extract masking its acidity. Last tasted June 2003 ***** M.B.
