Chateau D'Yquem - Sauternes - 1er
"Superb, brilliant golden color. The bouquet is already intense and very expressive, to an extent rarely seen in a wine this young. Tremendously pure, complex aromas: yellow fruit, dried fruit, spices, aromatic plants and elegant oak. Starts out beautifully on the palate. The roundness is backed up by great acidity and a vivacious quality. Beautifully smooth and softer after taste. This elegant wine has a remarkebly long finish." From Chateau D'Yquem's website. Received a score of 94 from Wine Spaectator's James Suckling. This dry white wine from France is a great gift to buy online! (Subject to Availability) DYQ99 DYQ99
