Château d'Yquem 1967
Sauternes, Graves, Bordeaux, FranceWinemaker Pierre Lurton rightly says "people travel the world to taste this wine." It's an amazing vintage and very easy to like. The colour turned amber years ago but once you smell the pure botrytis in the nose from its super ripe grapes the grapes were super ripe. The picking never began until mid-October. It's really a benchmark year for the powerful fat style of d'Yquem although it is shedding a few pounds and showing an amazing structure underneath. A vintage of the complexity. Pure quince paste in the flavour along with honey peaches and sugar apricots. Incredibly youthful. Bottled with 116 g/l of sugar with an acidity of 4.6 grams per litre and 14.7 degrees alcohol. Picking began in mid October.Tasted: 15 May 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| AB | $2800.00 | 750ml | consignment - Dream Wines |
