D´Yquem 1969

A year with a wet spring and cooler-than-average weather until July. Heavy rain fell in mid-September, followed by three weeks of dry weather and two small windows of opportunity around the 20th of October that were taken advantage of to pick most of the crop. The ensuing four weeks of rain ruined the remaining grapes. A small production for this discreet, medium-sweet vintage of Yquem.

Great colour, rich and lively yellow gold; lovely nose, orange zest and oak spice; delicately sweet, gentle bitters, spicy and resinous oak, firm bitters; long and drying finish. (Cellartracker)
