Description
Chateau d'Yquem 1996Sauternes
Half-Bottle (24)
"Light gold with a tight but promising nose of roasted hazelnuts intermixed with creme brulee, vanilla beans, honey, orange marmalade, and peaches, this medium to full-bodied offering reveals loads of power in its restrained, measured personality. There is admirable acidity, weight, texture, and purity in this impeccably made Yquem. However, patience will be a virtue." (95 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, April 2003)
“Served at The Clove Club's Bordeaux lunch with roast foie gras, loquat, hazelnut and amaranth, a particularly successful combination. Deep orangey gold. Masses of botrytis exhibited on the rich nose full of pungent lanolin. The finish was fresh and clean and the sweetness, if on a scale of one to ten, would be about seven. Lots of weight and presence, really very majestic. No hurry whatsoever to drink this.” (18.5/20 pts. Jancis Robinson, Aug. 2015)
