Château d'Yquem Sauternes 1969

半世紀を超えて、なお気品を保つ琥珀。

半世紀以上の熟成を経てなお気品を放つ、1969年のシャトー・ディケム。琥珀色に染まった外観が印象的で、ドライアプリコットやヘーゼルナッツ、カラメルに、オレンジピールやスパイスがわずかに重なります。口に含むと時の流れを感じさせる柔らかな甘みが広がり、穏やかな酸が全体に均衡と品格を与えます。余韻は中程度ながら、心地よい熟成香が長く続きます。フォアグラのテリーヌやブルーチーズと。

Tasting note

Its amber-colored, mature appearance is striking. The aroma is a blend of dried apricots, hazelnuts, caramel, and subtle hints of orange peel and spice. On the palate, a soft sweetness emanates from the passage of time, and the mild acidity gives the wine balance and elegance. The finish is medium-length, but the pleasant, aged aroma lingers for a long time, evoking a sense of calm and elegance.
