Bill's birth year - and perhaps the last time he tasted this Yquem (though almost certainly not the last time he tasted Yquem, as he lived for another 10 weeks). This had been recorked in 1995. Tawny colour with a very pale rim. Butterscotch notes on the nose, then very lively palate. Creamy texture. Great energy even if not one of the sweetest vintages. An exceptional 1954. Like Bill. 1965 - 2020
