Saturday, November 11, 2023 - I love when folks pick on an 'off' vintage of d'Yquem, seemingly forgetting that it still combines, acid, fruit, candy, and volatile weirdness into pure joy. This was pure joy. It is a rich, vibrant orange to light copper color that gives you vinyl as soon as it hits the glass, and then it starts giving you orange zest, orange marmalade, burnt sugar...it's got a creamy texture, but the acid cleans it up nicely and keeps it fresh and zingy. There's a caramelized nut taste in the finish. It's just starting to give off a little barely sugar, but wait several more years for a more expressive note on that front. Absolutely delicious.
