  June 26, 2013 - Legendary Château D'Yquem Tasting * 1893 - 1983 * (Old Swiss House, Lucerne, Switzerland): This is a monumental d'Yquem, never did I have such a complexity in a Sauternes. It is IMHO the interaction of elegance and power that makes this wine the absolute Uber-Yquem. While the 37 was also a superb d'Yquem this had one notch more of everything. The color was a deep amber with bright edges. Nose showed Apricot yelly, caramel and orange peel. The sweetness (residual sugar 160gr/l) and the acidity (6gr./l) makes this wine so balanced. Flavors of Chestnut honey, malty flavors and apples. It reminds of a old Tokaj Essencia. Monumental wine! No hurry to drink.
