Monday, January 1, 2024 - Chateau d'Yquem 1986
Lovely golden color, very silky and sumptuous. Very elegant to the nose and palate.
Tasting notes: dried fruits (apricot, plum), honey, spices (saffron, cinnamon, pepper, liquorice) a slight mineral note too.
Absolute perfect balance between the sweetness and the acidity.
Probably this is not just drinking a glass of wine, it’s a real experience!

Thanks Aodan_Manca!
