Drinking maturity drink ( - 2025)
Valuation 17/20
Golden orange, not particularly brilliant. Bread drink, soaked gelatine, caramel, brioche bread, yeast nuances, dried, unsulphured apricots, Izmir figs, molasses, pertina touch. Light molasses on the palate, soft contours, lots of gelatine again, a beautiful, harmonious sweetness, but the expected playfulness is not there. Despite the name Yquem on the label, it's not quite a great Sauternes. But that's not what you'd expect from an 84. So it can be assumed that it is the best sweet Bordeaux from this difficult vintage after all. Drink 17/20, without haste.

 

Falstaff: 92/100

Bright red gold with amber reflections. Intense bouquet, nuances of bergamot and orange oil. Complex on the palate, honey nuances, powerful and woody-spicy, salty minerality in the background.
