Chateau d'Yquem 1995 Chateau d'Yquem 1995 Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classe 4 slightly scuffed labels This is all rich, powerful honey on the nose. Clover and orange blossom. One feels the weight, definition and emerging caramel. Round and grapey and full of lime honey richness on the palate. So rich and glossy. Slips down and one only realises how full and big it is on the aftertaste. A real lemony kick at the end. This lemon element was very strong on my most recent bottle, plus enormous, all-enveloping richness. Incredible with a fig dessert, the ideal companion. SS. Lot 754 9 bts (sc) per lot: USD 1100-1500 Experiencing Yquem is a journey into flawless excellence, into the heart of endless layers of richness, profundity and exotic flavours. Tasting Yquem is awe-inspiring, both for its beauty and also because of the constant awareness that this degree of opulence and concentration can only be achieved at the cost of immense skill, care and financial sacrifice. Making Sauternes, with its elements of botrytis and extreme ripeness, forever at the mercy of the weather, is always a fiendish pursuit, but making Yquem goes into new realms of endeavour - it is a world unto itself.
