Robert Parker 87 points:
"This is a surprisingly good wine made under very trying conditions. Yquem began to harvest on October 15 and made the last pass through the vineyards on November 13. Seventy-five percent of the crop was retained for Yquem. The wine at present exhibits a great deal of toasty oak in the bouquet, which is also filled with scents of smoked almonds, glazed pineapples, and honey and caramel. In the mouth, the wine is less flamboyant, with less glycerin and power than usual, but it is still a rich, full-bodied Yquem with a great deal of personality and character. It will not have the great aging potential of the top vintages, but I fully expect it to last at least another 20 years." Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition, Jan 1998

Château Gilette, Creme de Tete 1970 (75cl)

AOC Sauternes

Condition: Excellent with level into neck and good label.

NOTE: Château Gilette is unique amongst Sauternes in that they age their wines for many years, sometimes decades in vats before they are bottled. Gilette is, without doubt, one of the finest made wines in Sauternes despite the fact that it is not classified. In the Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (Jan 1998), Robert Parker said, "The 1970 has a deep, rich golden colour and a big, spicy bouquet of buttery apricot-scented fruit, is full-bodied and amazingly fresh and youthful for its age, and will probably keep for another 15 - 25 years ....
