Community Tasting Note

  • noppakit s. wrote: 96 points

    December 23, 2009 - First nose is Botrytis and remaining there. Very good example for this scent. I used to wonder how botrytis should be...Bingo !!!

    The second scent is a typical nose of Yquem but elegant, clean and beautiful. Very soft scent, orange peel, a bit honey, peach. That's special !!!

    Medium-bodied, lovely dense, well-rounded, not too sweet, polite, nice acid. It's between the beautiful 1980 and the mild-blowin' 1988.

    Aftertaste is slowly expansive, fallin' down into my heart, spread out and set back to robust upward very soft, smooth and elegant, very slowly movement. A nice move !!!

    Whenever the aftertaste has its own direction, up and down or down and up. Anyway, this wine is amazing great.

    The No.1 best aftertaste for me ( นพกิต แสงสุเรนทร์ ) is Ch. Latour 1961.
    The No.2 belongs to Haut-Brion 1990

    This d'Yquem 1986 reminds me of Le Plus de Lafleur de Bouard 2000. Similar but not the same.

    I finished this bottle within' 5 days : The Botrytis Express !!!

    Drink now - 2035...............................96-97/100..................................
