Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 10, 2015 - K&L Bordeaux Tasting (K&L, Redwood City): Lovely medium-golden color with just a hint of orange; nose is highly aromatic with saffron, concentrated mandarin oranges, baking spice; palate is full bodied, rich, dense with sweetness and unctuous without being overwhelming, excellent acid to balance the sugar; medium-long finish. This is made in a slightly more unctuous style than classic Yquem and with slightly less complexity than the vey best vintages, but this has excellent balance, great concentration and length, and is a pleasure to drink. I tasted the 96 yquem recently, and compared to that this is a half-step behind only for its acidity and better complexity in the 96. 93-94
