Product Description
VM95 "This bottle came from my own cellar. I must admit that I had intended to pick a different and frankly, less expensive vintage, but misread the label and it was cracked open before I could say "Doh!". The 1950 Yquem has a deep amber colour. The nose is fully mature but captivating: barley sugar, stewed tangerines, mandarin and orange rind, all with divine definition and focus. The palate has ethereal balance and a sense of effortlessness with orange zest, Turkish delight, a hint of dried ginger and mandarin again. No, this is not a complex Yquem, but it transcends the vintage with chutzpah." Neal Martin For Vinus Media Feb 2022
A good year in Sauternes, and an outstanding wine from Yquem. Built in an elegant style, with fine apricot and dried fruit character, a beautiful, palate-coating texture and a long, elegant finish.--Yquem vertical. Drink now through 2020.
