Community Tasting Note

William Kelley Likes this wine:

Saturday, February 11, 2017 - 1962 is a great year at Yquem, and while this is not the most powerful or textural vintage here, its perfect balance and magical sense of elegance and harmony make it one of the very best Yquems I've ever encountered. A magical bouquet of kaleidoscopic complexity bursts from the glass with notes of manderin, honeycomb, caramelized pinapple and citrus rind and crème brulée. On the palate the wine is full-bodied but by no means a monster, with fresh acids, stunning purity and precision, effortless grace and a long, lingering and fragrant finish. Simply fabulous and at the peak of its powers. While this is a celebrated year it deserves an even greater reputation.
