Note di degustazione
Deeper gold/amber-hued, the 1955 Château D'Yquem is ripe and concentrated, with plenty of honey, ripe stone fruits, caramelized orange, and toffee nuances. It's certainly fully mature yet has plenty of vibrancy, full-bodied richness, a ripe, unctuous mouthfeel, and a great finish. Surprisingly, there wasn't a huge amount of botrytis here, but this is a powerful, rich, fleshy Yquem that's fully mature.

Full bottle 1,353 g. No alcohol cited all these years ago. This was the colour of a particularly dark Oloroso sherry – a sort of glowing chestnut colour – and actually tasted rather like sweet chestnuts. Despite its looks, it was amazingly fresh and zesty with a savoury molasses edge. It finished drier than some other bottles of 1955 Yquem recalled by the donor, whose birthday we were celebrating. (He foreswore his birth year, 1946.)
Liquorice, molasses, fig, chocolate. Much like port, although much more tart. Definitely seems to lack sugar, as older Sauternes often do. (RH)
