Magnum of 87 D'yquem drinking well now; reflects the soggy harvest conditions though the 200 ha site on the top of the hiil escaped most of the drizzle to ripen this more dilute but easy drink; not lacking sugar, just botrytis intensity; says winemaker Sandrine; deep not long; #sauternes #dyquem #sémillon #sauvignonblanc #bordeaut

Not quite up to other years of d’Yquem but still lovely of course. Lacking some acid on the finish. Overall less density and length than I was hoping. But the palate entry and overall aromatics are still incredible.
