Chateau D'Yquem 1er Cru Sauternes 1953 1.5 kg

The wine is especially harmonious with foie gras, aged blue cheeses, desserts with almond, quince and citrus, and can also stand as a wine for quiet contemplation on its own. Given its age and complex texture, it shows at its best in the company of delicate dishes without excessive sweetness.

Noble amber-copper colour with golden caramel shades, reflecting the outstanding development of the wine.

The complex, elegant nose unfolds with notes of quince, almond, crème brûlée and orange zest, complemented by shades of caramel, honey, spices and nutty nuances.

Rich, deep and surprisingly lively palate with a silky texture and a filigree balance between sweetness, freshness and mature complexity. Shades of quince, citrus zest, caramel and almond unfold gradually, preserving an energy and refinement rare in a wine of such maturity. The finish is exceptionally long, multi-layered and noble.
