Description
Chateau d'Yquem 2002Sauternes
Half-Bottle (24)
The La Cave Collection. Wines from a Texas Collector, all pristinely stored since release in a commercial wine storage facility
"Served from an ex-chateau bottle. The 2002 Chateau d’Yquem has a delightful bouquet with scents of dried honey, marzipan and melted candle wax. It is not the most complex, but it has very good definition. The palate has a controlled, linear opening with fine acidity and a tightly wound spicy core. This 2002 has a slight bitter edge which lends it race and tension. However, there is a touch of austerity here, as if it is holding something back. You might describe this as a serviceable Yquem: everything in its right place, but refusing to let go. This is an Yquem sans the ambition of other vintages and yet delicious all the same." (93 pts. Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com #213, June 2014)
