CHÂTEAU D'YQUEM 2001

Château d'Yquem 2001

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé

Good levels, excellent apprearance, tissue wrapped

Pierre Lurton did the blending for this vintage - and what a beginning. It is just so lemony on the nose, an amazing explosion of lemon curd aromas and flavours. Extraordinary creamy brilliance - like a diamond. Unbelievably pure and 'magnetic'. Stunningly fresh and immediate. Seamless silky opulence with perfect acidity and balance. Yes, I admit the obvious - I simply adore this. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
