Description
Yquem is indisputedly the best wine in Sauternes and may well be the finest sweet wine in the world.
On the nose, there is some orange marmalade, honey and spice character in this wine. Turns quite woody, with lots of caramel.
YQUEM HARVEST NOTES: Weather was mediocre in summer, but improved in autumn. The harvest was very long: 48 days' work out of 55 to bring in a very worthwhile and slightly above average crop in terms of volume. A very rich vintage.
Condition
Level high shoulder, labels good but some slightly damaged, please request photos
