1999 Château d'Yquem


Of course there is honey, there is cinnamon, there is apricot, there is orange peel and the slight trace of ginger. When drunk, not as powerful as one would expect, quite simple and approachable with less concentration, but great acidity and structure. Not too fat, but round and reasonably long finish. It might not be the best d'Yquem but it is certainly a very enjoyable Sauternes.
