Château d’Yquem 1997, Sauternes Premier Cru Classé, shows deep golden color with rich aromas of honey, apricot, and spices. Lush palate balanced by bright acidity.
subtle notions of crushed rocks, wild fungi and fragrant earth leading to a profound core of orange marmalade, crystalized lemon peel, dried pineapple and paraffin wax.
Strong colour. Very floral, vivid nose, light, well-integrated woodiness. The palate is fresh, elegant and complex with a lively, slightly spicy finish, and some notes of exotic fruit.
This is a genuine explosion of berry flavours (cherry, black currant). Boasting good concentration, it offers a rich and round palate with coated tannins.
