2019 Chateau Yquem - Bordeaux, Sauternes 1er Cru Supérieur - 6 Bottles (0.75L)

First Owner/ Never moved Bought en Primeur direct from the Château / Domaine Original Wood Case Stored in perfect conditions Tasting the 2019, I noticed that it has a slightly paler hue compared to recent vintages (though I never read too much into the colour of young Sauternes.) For certain, it has a highly-aromatic bouquet that is beguiling in purity, enticing aromas of honeysuckle and saffron, soon joined by camomile, white flowers and orange blossom. It has wonderful delineation and gains intensity with aeration. The palate is supremely well-balanced with fine bead of acidity. Very harmonious and armed with just the right amount of viscosity, this Yquem is surprisingly understated at first but gains presence, offering irresistible flavours of layers of honey, lemongrass, lemon thyme and orange pith. Yquem is so tempting in its youth, but I feel that this vintage will repay those with the nous to cellar for at least a decade. (NM) Extra charges and ancillary fees (for import shipments) may be applied if the shipment to countries oustide the EU.
