1945 Château D'Yquem 1er Grand Cru Classé Sauternes
"The 1945 d'Yquem is consistent with the two previous bottles that I tasted. I will not say anything other than that it is a perfect bottle of Sauternes. It still has that ethereal delineation on the nose of vivacious Seville orange marmalade and quince aromas, if maybe just a little more nuttiness compared to previous bottles. The palate is brilliantly poised, offering tangy marmalade mixed with satsuma, mango and crushed stone, just so crystalline and pure. A magnificent wine at the peak of its almighty powers. Tasted at Koala's 1945 dinner."
