Community Tasting Note

• aodan_manca Likes this wine: 98 points

  January 1, 2024 - Chateau d'Yquem 1986
  Lovely golden color, very silky and sumptuous. Very elegant to the nose and palate.
  Tasting notes: dried fruits (apricot, plum), honey, spices (saffron, cinnamon, pepper, liquorice) a slight mineral note too.
  Absolute perfect balance between the sweetness and the acidity.
  Probably this is not just drinking a glass of wine, it’s a real experience!

  Thanks Aodan_Manca!
