This bottle of 1959 d'Yquem had never left the estate. Evoking aromas of spices, brown sugar, caramel, marmalade and quince, all beautifully defined, it is medium-bodied, racy and refined, with plenitude on the mid-palate and a deep core of fruit. I was impressed by the tension and the particularly long, penetrating finish, complemented by a delicate phenolic aftertaste.
