Description

A bottle of 1968 Château d'Yquem from Sauternes.

1967 is described in the late Michael Broadbent MW's Vintage Wine as being from 'A superlative vintage, the best since 1959', with Yquem being picked from 26 September to 25 October.

In 2018 William Kelley of the Hedonists Gazette described it thus:

'... a rich, gourmand iteration of this legendary Sauternes, evocative of crème brûlée, apricot compote, marmalade and vanilla pod. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, decadent and unctuous. Many rank it as one of the great post-war Yquems, though I tend to prefer somewhat more elegant vintages such as 1955 and 1962. The 1967, however, was an appropriately decadent, even hedonistic wine with which to conclude a magnificent dinner. 94/100'
