2007 Chateau Yquem 750ml

96 POINTS

Wine Spectator

Intense, with a wide range of maple, hazelnut-singed piecrust and apple crumble notes, all offset beautifully by a taut orange zest accent that imparts tension and length to balance the broad, rich core. Ends with a viscous feel and lingering energy.--Non-blind Yquem vertical (July 2014). Best from 2015 through 2040. 10,000 cases made.

Stephen Brook - Decanter

Medium gold, already quite evolved. Heady stone fruits and honey on the nose, with generous fruit. Very sweet and succulent but there's fine acidity to balance the palate, which has beguiling sweetness. Very long, with a minty finish, but a tad evolved for a young Yquem.
