The wine shows deep golden color
In the nose, the wine shows high intensity, overripe tropical fruit, stone fruit, peach, apricot, floral notes, honey, syrup, yeast notes, grape marmalade, light spice.
In the palate, the wine feels luscious, full body, nice acidity, stone fruit, apricot, nectarine, peach and yeast again, pastry, honey and syrup notes in the long finish.
If you want to be disgustingly (as Blackadder used to say) clinical, the wine is also a bit rough, with some alcohol heat, its not the finest of Yquem’s vintages and it shows.
But screw it, its Yquem and its outstanding !
