2001 Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes - 100 pts - OWC 12 pak
There are 10000 cases of this perfect sweet white Bordeaux. The 2001 Yquem reveals a hint of green in its light gold color. While somewhat reticent aromatically with airing it offers up honeyed tropical fruit orange marmalade pineapple sweet creme brulee 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.RP
