THREE VINTAGES OF CHATEAU D'YQUEM
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Château d'Yquem--Vintage 2001
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
In original wooden cases
Tasting note: The 2001 Yquem reveals a hint of green in its light gold colour. While somewhat reticent aromatically, with airing, it offers up honeyed tropical fruit, orange marmalade, pineapple, sweet crème brulée, and buttered nut-like scents. In the mouth, it is full-bodied with gorgeously refreshing acidity as well as massive concentration and unctuosity. Everything is uplifted and given laser-like focus by refreshing acidity. This large-scaled, youthful Yquem appears set to take its place among the most legendary vintages of the past, and will age effortlessly for 75+ years. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2100+.
