A monumental bottle of Sauternes despite a moderate level of residual sugar (122 grams per liter), the 2006 d'Yquem displays a singular, distinctive and elegant bouquet with aromas of thyme, sage, curry, baked pineapple and oregano. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it’s rich and concentrated, with superb acidity on the mid-palate as well as freshness, tension and crystalline texture, concluding on an endless, ethereal finish with a racy bitterness. Simply stunning!

The last time I tasted the 2006 Yquem was at the tail end of the pandemic. This bottle has a cohesive bouquet with lanolin, saffron and dried honey scents – not as flattering as the newborn 2023 tasted alongside, but certainly more appealing than the 1996. The palate delivers moderate complexity and a fine thread of acidity, quite viscous as you would hope with stem ginger and quince developing on the finish. There is something just a tad Germanic about this '06, and I do not mean that negatively. Tasted at L'Abeille restaurant in New York from an ex-château bottle and then from magnum at the Académie du Vin dinner in Bordeaux.
