Chateau D'yquem 2010 750ml
$1541.00 price per bottle
A cool year, but one made interesting thanks to a warm, dry summer. The weather was ideal during the harvest and the grapes were in great condition. It was vital to pick only the best terroirs and to avoid the temptation of too large a crop by a rigorous sorting and selection during blending. The result is brilliant and more profound that anyone had dared to hope. 98 Points - Robert Parker's Wine AdvocatePale to medium lemon-gold coloured, the 2010 d'Yquem is just now starting to strut its stuff with gregarious scents emerging of underripe mangos, fresh pineapples, poached pears and candied peel plus nuances of waxed lemons, fungi, musk perfume and wet clay. Wonderfully poised, the seductively intense fruit is offset by beautiful freshness, supporting layer upon layer of savory nut and baked-bread notions with the tantalizing exotic fruits coming through on the long, long finish. For number crunchers: 13. 5% alcohol, 138 grams per litre residual sugar, and total acidity is 3. 6 grams per liter H2SO4. Tempting to drink now, I?m sensing there are still a lot of latent nuances to be revealed here. So?to get that full Yquem experience?I?d give it another five years in bottle, at least, and drink it over the next 40+ years. 96+ Points - Wine EnthusiastImpressively balanced, with the fruit rich, intense with a golden glow. The acidity is as important as the freshness, giving a delicious lift to the core of dry, concentrated botrytis. Obviously a great wine for long-term aging in a great Sauternes year. 97 Points - James SucklingThe purity of Botrytis in this wine is so impressive with dried fruits such as apple and mango. And then spicy character. Full body and very sweet but it is incredibly fresh and lively. Such class and elegance. Perfectly manicured wine. Everything in the right place. This shows a delicacy and intensity that are spellbinding.
