  August 2, 2015 - You'll love pulling out and analyzing all of the component parts just as much as you'll love sitting back, taking a deep pull, and enjoying it as a cohesive whole. This may have not scored the points of some other vintages, but it's a beautiful, aristocratic d'Yquem. Fleshy apricots, orange blossom, hazelnut, lychee, smoke, oak, caramel. Sweet but not cloying. Could use a touch more acidity but that's just splitting hairs. Long, beautiful finish. This is just edging into maturity from half bottle.
