Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend

Yquem Deuces

Rich and pliant, this is a gorgeous wine. Pineapple and apricot. A burst of acidity. Perfect balance. Yet delicious.

Served with fois gras at Lafayette, NYC.

That texture! Amazing!

A bit of a disappointment this evening.

Y’quem two days in a row? Pinch me! Turpentine/French basement comes across the nose. A flavor punch to the palate, a mouthful of fruit and a looong finish - stewed apricot, peaches, apple. A hint of woodsiness (cypress?) and a sweet creaminess like crème caramel. Amazing wine that frankly overshadowed the apple tart tatin dessert pairing.

Fig flavor, smooth
Cafe Monarch

Solid but not elite Yquem. Possessed all the depth and complexity you would expect but was more narrow without the focus you get in a better vintage.

Smells like peak market pricing, high viscosity

Concentrated and rich apricot, peach, honey, and elderflower. Sweet, but I could drink a bottle of this, perfectly balanced. 😍
