Still lively. Intense botrytis, honey, orange jam, aged bouquet. Rich and still sweet and structured acidity sustains and slightly suppressed sweetness. Time passes but still quite energetic.

Contrary to other wines, D'yquem is in a class of it's own in terms of Sauternes. There is rarely, if ever, a bad year, although some years, like the 2001, stand out more than others. The disparity in quality from a GREAT d'yquem to a mediocre one & so on isn't as drastic as one might imagine. While the older vintages seem to age VERY well, it isn't as discernible from a recent vintage as other wines. Sauternes, in general are consistent, & none more than d'yquem.
