{"product_id":"2017-chateau-dyquem-sauternes-bottle-750ml","title":"2017 Chateau d'Yquem, Sauternes, Bottle (750ml)","description":"JS99 This is a great Yquem, delivering thrilling purity and intensity. The nose offers intense aromas of fresh and dried apricot and peach pastry, as well as freshly baked creme brulee, candied and fresh orange and kumquat. Some marmalade, too. Smooth, glossy texture with flavors of grilled orange, dried apricot and an exceptionally long finish with a powerful, driving push to the end. A flicker of toasty-oak influence arrives late, but this wine has completely consumed the oak. The 2017 Yquem is a very powerful wine from a very rich and exceptional vintage. The acidity has a big hand in balancing the richness. Pithy finish. The phenolics deliver some great depth. Rain at the beginning of September prompted an extensive infection of noble rot. The harvest lasted from September 26 to October 13. Great quality and one of the best since the legendary 2001. Drink or hold. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nLP98+ A blend of 75% Semillon and 25% Sauvignon Blanc, with 148 grams per liter of residual sugar and a pH of 3.8, the 2017 Yquem has a pale lemon-gold color. It is a little shy to begin, featuring delicate scents of chalk dust, coriander seed, and lemongrass, leading to a profound core of apricots, fresh Bosc pears, and blanched almonds, plus a hint of wet slate. Full-on unctuous, the tension in the mouth is exhilarating, creating layer upon layer of stone fruits, minerals, and spices, finishing with epic length and amazing depth. It is powerful, with an alcohol level of 14% this year.","brand":"d'Yquem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48220202828013,"sku":"BDX:DYQ:DYQU-0750-2017-F0L0C0","price":359.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/8592\/6203\/files\/BDXDYQDYQU-0750-2017-F0L0C0.jpg?v=1751639618","url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/2017-chateau-dyquem-sauternes-bottle-750ml","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
