  Fresh and light, young Yquem are so pleasant to drink

  Golden in colour. Marmalade and candied fruit. Dense, but not heavy or overly sweet. Terrific. 95-96

  Judgement of Paris Tasting and Dinner (V. Mertz - Omaha, NE): From a half-bottle. This was the pièce de résistance to our evening (although someone apparently opened a Gravner that I somehow missed). Anyway, the thing about d’Yquem is that you don’t have to love Sauternes to fall head over heels for it. This was liquid stars. The sheer density is out of this world. Loaded with tropical fruits, exotic honey, stone fruits and minerals. Gorgeously textured and brilliant acidity to make it all work. A forever finish. I don't know how a wine like this could ever die.

  This is a fabulous sweet wine from Bordeaux.
  
  Dark Golden in color.
  
  Beautiful sweet nose of honey, yellow apples, apricots, honeysuckle, lemons, caramel, spices and white pepper.
  
  Full bodied and bold, with high acidity.
  
  Sweet on the palate with honey, citrus, tropical fruits, spices, lemons and brown sugar.
  
  Long, long finish with citrus and limes.
  
  This 8 year old still feels very young and concentrated. Nicely balanced with lots of acidity to balance the sugars. Tangy and interesting with a heavy mouthfeel.
  
  Rich, yet elegant. Sweet and powerful. Creamy and bold. A delicious experience.
  
  Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.
  
  A great vintage that shows its power. Already showing great complexity, but will age nicely in the next 50 years.
  
  Decadent and delicious. A fabulous dessert wine.
  
  13.5% alcohol by volume.
  
  97 points.
  
  $250 (375ml).
