Time for dessert!!! The nose shows; white peach, apricots, dry pineapple, Bosc pear, dry tropical melons, marmalade, honey, orange citrus and blossoms, nuts, toffee, banana peel, burnt caramel, brown raw sugar, baguette crust, soft limestone minerals and floral spring flowers. The body is thick, gluey and rich and has lots of residual sugar. White peach, apricots, dry pineapple, Bosc pear, dry tropical melons, marmalade, honey, orange citrus and blossoms, nuts, toffee, banana peel, burnt caramel, brown raw sugar, baguette crust, soft limestone minerals and spring flowers. The acidity is beautiful, thick and round. The finish is well balanced and elegant with polish on the finish for days. Photos of; Chateau d’ Yquem, their tasting room, 1917 bottle of d’ Yquem and botrytis grapes and their barrel room.

Solid. As always- previous notes apply.

Alexandre Pagliano

Was excellent but not to its usual standards. Half bottle. Which might explain ?

Neil Valenzuela

Absolutely love this wine. Dried pineapple, pear, orange marmalade, almonds, burnt honey/ brown sugar and orange blossoms. Merry Christmas!

Rich and decadent, also fresh, balanced and long in the mouth. Gotta be much better in bigger formats. We loved it and are looking for more :)
