Château d'Yquem--Vintage 2001
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé. Château-bottled
Ten bottles in original tissues. Not in original wooden case
Tasting Note: The 2001 Yquem reveals a hint of green in its light gold colour. While somewhat reticent aromatically, with airing, it offers up honeyed tropical fruit, orange marmalade, pineapple, sweet crème brûlèe, 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. Robert Parker. Wine Advocate 158 (April 2005)
