2011 Chateau D'Yquem - Sauternes (750ml)
98 Points
"Ch. d'Yquem is world renown as the Greatest dessert wine made. The 2011 is luminous golden yellow. Cool, pure aromas of white peach, honeyed mango, guava nectar, white flowers and saffron are complicated by elements of crushed stone and spicy lemony botrytis. Suave and intensely flavored, with mineral-spiced apple, mango, passion fruit and grapefruit flavors offering outstanding purity, precision, and depth. The brisk but harmonious acidity gives this great Sauternes a penetrating quality and provides a powerful spine to the very deep flavors, making it seem less opulent than it really is. This is one of my favorite young Yquems ever: it will age spectacularly well."
