Wine Advocate 91 / 100 Château d’Yquem 2021 stands out with its first fresh, almondy nose, where the cedar character and the scents of pineapple, pear, Ente plum and mandarin mingle. As the tasting progresses, aromas of candied lemon and orange are revealed, and an intense floral register is expressed, evoking broom flowers and gardenia flowers. On the palate, the Château d’Yquem 2021 is a vibrant wine. Its fresh attack, its dense and unctuous mid-palate, make it a wine with perfect balance and great finesse. Its powerful structure is prolonged by candied bitters which make its finish long and smooth.
