D'Yquem (750ML)

From Sauternes

Vintage:	1967
Description:	100 Ws / 100 Fs / 99 Wa / 99 De / 98 Vm / 98 Wci / 20 Jr. From one of the 20th century's celebrated vintages for Yquem, this bottle stands up to all the hype--unforgettable for its purity, elegance, harmony, its total everything. Powerful, yet it seems weightless on the palate, almost defying gravity as it tangos around with its vanilla, peach and apricot flavors. Seamless, nearly endless finish. Easy to understand its reputation as the greatest Yquem of the last 35 years.--Yquem vertical. - Wine Spectator A legendary vintage, rightly considered the legitimate successor to the 1937. Known as an incredibly deep, opulent and multi-layered wine from a great botrytis vintage, this wine is now in perfect balance. It has thus needed over fifty years to reach its zenith, where it will now probably remain for decades to come. Intense gold with a reddish shimmer, an unmistakable Yquem bouquet on the nose, delicate notes of lanolin, ripe tropical fruits, spices, honey, fine oak, building up with air to an aromatic crescendo of superlatives. Perfectly balanced on the palate for all its complexity and power, making it appear light-footed and floating, a fine fruity texture of stone fruit, the typical bourbon vanilla, a wine you can literally sink into. Has everything that makes an extraordinary wine. (12/2023, drink - 2050).-Peter Moser, Falstaff, tasted 01/23
