Fully mature, with a burnished feel to the wax, verbena, dried orange peel and roasted almond notes. Picks up a flash of walnut on the still-rich finish. Drink now. (Web-2011)
This is a dry white wine from the famed Château d'Yquem only made in rare vintages (there have only been 23 vintages since 1959) from equal parts Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. The crop in the 2000 vintage was extremely small, 20% of normal, but the resulting wine was quite incredible and enchanting. Its vanilla and citrus-scented bouquet gives way to a voluminous palate, billowing with round, sweet fruit, spice, tarragon and mint notes, supplemented by the perfect amount of mouthwatering acidity. The wine's elegance and texture are a testament to Yquem's mastery of the craft of winemaking even under difficult circumstances.
