Château d`Yquem is widely considered to be one of the world`s greatest sweet wines, this is a wine with great balance and complexity, which can age for decades with ease. The 1945 vintage epitomises complexity and was produced from grapes with perfect sugar levels and great acidity.
100 The Wine Independent
The 1945 Yquem has 164 grams per liter of residual sugar, which is the highest ever amount of residual sugar in Yquem. (2009 was the 2nd highest.) It is medium amber in color, with a hint of brown. Evocative notes of licorice, toasted hazelnuts, unsmoked cigars, and brown sugar tumble from the glass, followed by the most amazing perfume of rose oil and gingerbread. The voluptuous, decadently viscous, full-bodied palate is laden with layer upon layer of savory and spice flavors, featuring a perfectly knit backbone of acidity, finishing epically long and nutty. Just magic. Tasted at the Chateau in April 2023.Lisa Perrotti-Brown4th September 2023

As depicted in the image, a 1945 Yquem was also opened to compare to the 1947. However, this meant it was not at the optimal temperature. That notwithstanding, it was clearly not close to perfect examples that I have tasted in the past. Neal Martin26th December 2023
