Description
Robert Parker: Compared with the flamboyant aromatics of the 1997,
Yquem's 1996 plays it closer to the vest, although there is a lot
going on. Light gold with a tight but promising nose of roasted
hazelnuts intermixed with creme brulee, vanilla beans, honey,
orange marmalade, and peaches, this medium to full-bodied offering
reveals loads of power in its restrained, measured personality.
There is admirable acidity, weight, texture, and purity in this
impeccably made Yquem. However, patience will be a virtue.
Anticipated maturity: 2012-2060.
