2008 Chateau d'Yquem - Sauternes 1er Cru Supérieur - 1 Bottle (0.75L)

Bottiglia Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes 2008 perfetta, sempre conservata nella mia cantina privata.

"Sporting a medium lemon-gold color, the 2008 d'Yquem is forward, displaying an already complex, compellingly savory/earthy nose of toasted almonds, cloves, damp soil, crushed stones and yeast extract with a core of peach preserves, lemon tart, dried pineapple and allspice. Rich, spicy and decadent in the mouth, with a racy backbone lifting the fruit, it finishes long and multilayered."
Robert Parker 95/100

"A straw/gold color. Lovely intense vibrant pineapple & runny-honey aromas. The wine is intensely sweet, but the texture is quite light & smooth. On the palate mandarin notes join the ripe pineapple & perfumed, liquid honey. There are also ripe mango touches & a great concentration of fruit. The wine is a very clean style with plentiful well-integrated oak. There is fresh acidity balanced alcohol & the finish lasts very well." - 11/12 DCAMW
