Note di degustazione
This bottle of 1959 d'Yquem had never left the estate. Evoking aromas of spices, brown sugar, caramel, marmalade and quince, all beautifully defined, it is medium-bodied, racy and refined, with plenitude on the mid-palate and a deep core of fruit. I was impressed by the tension and the particularly long, penetrating finish, complemented by a delicate phenolic aftertaste.

Great wine at its peak but showing no sign of fading. Tawny with a greenish tinge at the rim. Gloriously tangy. 120 g/l. Great balance with some gunpowder and smokiness. It was extremely hot when the grapes were picked. Amazing that it's as good as it is in an era that pre-dates sophisticated temperature control. Extremely rich with notes of dried fruits. Great balnce with strong dried citrus peel notes. Vital. Slightly more pronounced acidity than another bottle I was lucky enough to try late last year in London. (Note to follow.) (JR)
14.3% 121 g/l RS, TA 4.3 Four waves of picking. Quick, early vintage 19 Sep to 16 Oct, 23 days’ picking over 27 . Very big boned indeed. Big and bold and savoury and quite chewy on the finish. (JR)
Informazioni sul produttore
Indiscusso miglior vino dolce al mondo, Château d'Yquem è l'unica tenuta Premier Cru Supérieur di Sauternes, classificata nel 1855. Con una lunga storia che risale al Medioevo, lo château è strettamente legato a quella della famiglia Lur-Saluces, che ne è coinvolta ancora oggi.
