Chateau d’Yquem 2002 Sauternes Bordeaux 375ml/Btl 12/case

Description

Neal Martin: Served from an ex-chateau bottle. The 2002 Chateau d’
Yquem has a delightful bouquet with scents of dried honey, marzipan
and melted candle wax. It is not the most complex, but it has very
good definition. The palate has a controlled, linear opening with
fine acidity and a tightly wound spicy core. This 2002 has a slight
bitter edge which lends it race and tension. However, there is a
touch of austerity here, as if it is holding something back. You
might describe this as a serviceable Yquem: everything in its right
place, but refusing to let go. This is aYquem sans the ambition of
other vintages and yet delicious all the same. Drink now-2035.
