The Chateau D’Yquem is an outstanding Sauternes 2008 and another impressive Yquem. The bouquet is just wonderful, very perfumed with aromas of apricot, acacia honey and white flowers. The palate is beautifully poised, tense and tightly coiled on the entry and then it just explodes in the mouth with pure, unbridled, joyous botrytized fruit struck through with a silver thread of acidity. It displays exemplary tension and freshness, along with great persistency in the mouth.
