Product Details
2001 Ch. d'Yquem, Sauternes
(code: 62581B)
2001 Yquem is one of the best wines this exalted estate has ever made and has
been awarded the `perfect' score by ourselves and Robert Parker alike. This is
breathtakingly complex, with a vibrant perfume of crème brûlée, white peaches,
apricots, mustard seed and gorgeous light new oak which heralds the most
magnificent mouthfilling essence. With the texture of melted butter, it feels
more fresh, zingy and exciting than any wine you can imagine. If the nose and
the palate aren't enough to blow you away, the 30 minute (at least) after-taste
is ethereal. This is already approachable, but if you don't get round to
opening the bottle this year you could cellar it until 2100!
