Needed the perfect Yquem for seared fois gras, with warm orange compote as accompaniment. ‘97 Yquem Leander orange/tangerine more than apricot. Worked perfectly. Very steady and balance. Long golden length. Perfect.

Great experience, second best Yquem in the 90s, great acidity, honeysuckle, peach, full botrytis. I have only drunk 1990 which was ever so slightly better in the 90s. A privilege to drink and at a 180 euros a bottle it was a steal.

Magnificent. Honey and amber. Paired or on its own, it’s sure to please your palate.

Honey-brioche and almond extract commingle with orange blossom, crystalline honey, light maple syrup and butter, marmalade with aromatic musk. The warm flavors of mouth-coating, unctuous citrus defy comparison, but evocative of marmalade hard candy, candied oranges, tangerine, clementine, nectarine, dried apricot, Meyer lemon essences, and baked apple and yellow pear. Golden; delicious.
