  Wow, this wine keeps getting better every time I drink. I opened for my friend Steve’s 41st birthday and it was spectacular. So much peach and honey, just amazing nose and even better once you taste it, You just doesn’t want it to end.

  What a fun treat to have any D'Qyeum. I bought 5 bottles of this vintage recently at auction and this was my first to try. I brought to a paired wine dinner featuring: English Red Fruit “ Shortcake” / lemon curd/ pistachios/ blood orange/ lime / basil. Everyone enjoyed, you get peach, honey, spice and pineapple. This is definitely in its drinking window and should continue for sometime. I’m grateful I have more bottles and I don’t need to be in a rush to consume, this should be good for a long time.

  Bottle in perfect condition - no flaws. Tasted over 24 hours.
  This is not a Grand Yquem, a ok one. I don’t quite get some super enthusiastic notes here. This has nothing to do with let say, 1983. Nose is quite beautiful, palate is nice and balanced but lacks that little bit of acidity and mostly the length and depth you could expect. Falls a little bit short.
  It was still a great moment especially paired with a proper blue cheese
