Chateau d’Yquem Sauternes 2005 375ml (Half Size Btl)

Robert Parker – 97 Points (2005)

2005 Yquem starts out deliciously suave and caressing on the palate, with perfect balance. The fresh acidity and elegance complement the wine’s restrained power, giving it incredible class.

There are strong flavors of gingerbread, orange nonette cakes and licorice followed by a gorgeous acid tang that underpins the wine’s beautiful, long aftertaste on a par with the chateau’s most illustrious vintages. The tremendously varied and complex flavors all seem to vibrate on the same wavelength, melting into a subtle whole.
