Lovely nose, blackberry, dark cherry along with a fan of tertiary notes; leather, truffle, french oak hint of unsmoked cigar and dried herbs.
Palate opened up beautifully over 90 mins showing a real concentration of dark fruits along with beautiful tertiary notes of forest floor, oak/cedar, some tobacco leaf and leather. Nice long finish showing the different layers.
EDIT: Wow, something happened after 3 hours in the decanter it opened up even further! So much complexity, balance and length. A real depth and concentration to the fruit and tertiary flavours. Very long. Absolutely stunning - gave it an extra point over my original score of 96!
Apricot, pineapple, yellow melon and honeysuckle on the nose. Wonderful elegant palate with the above along with some mandarin orange, almond etc. Still young but already with wonderful balance and depth. Yquem is legendary for a reason.

No detailed note but enjoyable at a house warming in Tengah. Lemon, butter, chalk, brioche, touch of apricot and vanilla.
