The 2001 Château d’Yquem at 20 years old: a legend? It certainly received much adulation on release. As a reminder, it was picked over five tries from September 18 to October 23 and has 150g/L of residual sugar. Limpid gold in color, as you would expect, it looks quite youthful for a Sauternes of this vintage. The intense, well-defined bouquet features dried honey, beeswax, quince and touches of Seville orange marmalade. The palate is beautifully balanced, powerful and extraordinarily harmonious, delivering layers of botrytized fruit. There is a crescendo toward the finish of compelling white peach and quince mixed with apricot, becoming spicier with aeration and revealing hints of crème caramel in the background. Absolutely regal. 13.6% alcohol.
