Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1996
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
Four bin soiled labels, four lightly bin soiled labels
"The '96 Yquem at a recent dinner showed a beautiful fruit character that was rich without being either sweetly honeyed or aged to caramel yet, but rather fresh and floral, with a good level of botrytis. On the palate the wine was extremely fine, with firm acidity and a balanced texture - rich, but not viscous. Fantastic." At the MW gala dinner at Château Pontet Canet. CC, June 2010
