Chateau d’Yquem 2011 Sauternes Bordeaux 375ml/Btl 12/case

Description

Neal Martin: Tasted blind at the Sauternes 2011 horizontal tasting.
The Chateau Yquem 2011 has a complex bouquet, one that is very well
defined with hints of petrol infusing the rich honeyed fruit, later
melted wax and fresh peach coming through. The palate is well
balanced with a strong viscous entry. There is plenty of residual
sugar here and I would have preferred a little more acidic bite to
offset that rich, decadent finish (this is despite their correct
policy of blending non-botrytized berries in order to increase
acidity.) Powerful, burly even, I would give this several years in
the cellar to allow this Yquem to mellow and enter its stride.
