Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 28, 2013 - Château d'Yquem with AuZone (AuZone, Stockholm): Colour: golden yellow
Nose: spice notes, herbs, saffron, some solvent, resin and dried fruit, botrytis. More muted than the other Yquem vintages, and less complex.
Palate: concentrated, very spicy, caramel, dried fruit, high acidity, long aftertaste with caramel. The palate matches the other vintages more than the nose does.
Overall impression: based on the palate it is an Yquem should, but the nose doesn't quite come up in the same class. 94 p.

It should be mentioned that this wine had a cork that was moist all the way through, and showed small signs of leakage. The fill level was excellent, however, and gave no reason for concern.
