Community Tasting Note

mxpbuy Likes this wine:

Friday, April 12, 2024 - The bottle was perfect in every way, label, cork (although soaked), capsule, and base neck fill. Golden. On the nose it would be easy to assume this wine was going to be too much to handle with heaps of glycerin and heavily botrytised fruits overpowering the palate, but the nose was deceiving. On the palate the perfect level of acidity brought this wine into perfect balance and harmony. The wine was completely refined and elegant with far less glycerin and sweetness of so many other stickies, including other vintages of Yquem. The rolling layers of flavors go so far beyond the traditional apricot marmalade and honey and includes spiced applesauce, tangerine marmalade, lemon rind, vanilla creme brulee and more that I just seem to get lost in as the velvety wine fills your entire palate and stays with you for at least 45 seconds afterwards. Is it a perfect wine, probably, but I'm giving it an extremely rare 99. I'll consider revisiting it for its 60th Bday.
