Description

Château d'Yquem 1967

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé

u. vts, slightly soiled label, capsule scuffed and soiled, slightly raised cork


In 2021, this has moved along since I last tasted it, as displayed in a deeper colour derived from the great botrytis of this exalted year. The 'torched' crème brûlée bouquet is there in abundance, together with walnuts, 'raisins de Corinthe', Chinese tea, oranges and allspice, all reflected on the palate. The sweetness has a touch of tar from the noble rot, the complexity is intense and the depth almost surreal. One would wish to be so indestructible... Serena Sutcliffe, MW

我很慶幸常有機會喝到這款葡萄酒中的經典。她始終帶著貴腐葡萄的香氣,還有烘烤焦糖燉蛋、杏脯、科林斯葡萄乾及橙皮的氣息,酸爽度怡人。另外還有些煙燻和榛子的味道。最近品嚐時亦嚐到茶、橙、小橘子和多香果,非常美妙迷人。施慧娜 (葡萄酒大師 M.W.)
