Needs three or four years to open

plum and cassis form the fruity soul of this wine's bouquet

but that whip-crack of natural acid gives some structure and leaves a clean finish

Mauro and Mariangela have gone back to the roots

youthfully austere and balanced finish

Chateau d'Yquem 2016 Sauternes France Floral Honey & Fruit Kate Arnold Wines Needs three or four yearsA very classic Yquem. Breathtakingly wide spectrum of floral honey, exotic fruit (passion fruit, mango and pineapple), caramel and marzipan aromas. But none of this is a jot too much. In fact, the wine is extremely precise and finely nuanced. Wonderful freshness and textural complexity, in spite of the considerable concentration and extravagance. Very suave and sensual finish that goes on and on. Drink or hold. 99 Pts James Suckling
