Château d'Yquem 2003
Sauternes, Graves, Bordeaux, FranceThe 2003 vintage is said to be one of the warmest ever at d'Yquem and it combines with a hit of clean total botrytis throughout the vineyard. Historically it is the last year before the Lur Saluce family handed off to LVMH and winemaker Pierre Lurton. No shortage of power and weight but with beautiful fruit and surprising acidity candied crystallized peach and apricot with honey and marzipan notes. Almost taut and nervy at this stage. Leave it alone for decade or more as it fattens up and prepares for a long journey in bottle.Tasted: 15 May 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $250.00 | 375ml | specialty listing |
