  This was brought to an Yquem vertical by another guest and occupies a unique position among my Yquem notes because it's just about the only vintage I don't like much at this address, showing an unusual vegetal note.

  Good, like Yquem always is, but maybe the least impressive Yquem I’ve had — a little flat and lacking energy. No oxidation or mushroom or other age characteristics just a little lacking in zip. That said, still a great wine

  Christmas diner in the haute Savoie with the Lalliardo s. Medium gold Color. Marzipan, honey, white pepper, cream, a thick honey like milk on the nose. Med- acidity, Med body, Med alcohol, Med flavor intensity, Med finish. A very thick honey like drink, still with a nice acidity and balance, excellent dessert wine and drinking well now.

  It is difficult to be dispassionate when assessing any vintage from the estate, and I suspect that I would possibly score this slightly lower with another branded dessert wine. However, in spite of the year, its class shines through. Burnt caramel, honey, and glazed fruit dominate the nose and palate. It has good balance and depth with a decent finish. Ready to drink now, this has the structure to stay at this level for for many years to come.
