The 1957 was a light vintage, but with this bottle in such good condition, it should be a delight, fully mature and complex, and gentle, yet persistent. The 1921 was a completely different vintage, with late warmth. It was one of the greatest vintages for the Sauternes and Barsacs, a few miles further south. But this warm vintage made a big wine with intensity and structure, and good lasting ability. It is fascinating to find six halves, which will make a real discovery of this vintage in one of the World's great vineyards, and eleven years before it was purchased by the Dillon family from the USA.
