Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1997
10 half-bottles per lot
Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1997 Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé In original wooden cases Tasting note: Tasted single blind against its peers. Under blind conditions, the Yquem 2007 shines like a diamond. Nevertheless, it is initially rather taciturn on the nose, eventually opening up beautifully with touches of lemon curd, Mirabelle, and clear honey. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine definition and there seems to be a great deal of energy and vigor dispensed for your pleasure. There is such race and nervosity, and then that finish just purrs with harmony and focus. This Yquem feels just so alive and vivacious, yet there is an effortless quality here that is unmatched by its peers. Tasted January 2011. Wine Advocate #199. Feb 2012 10 half-bottles per lot
