Wine Spectator Tasting Note

The aromas are closed today, but the core is loaded with apricot, nectarine and orange notes, bolted by a citrus zest spine and backed by toasted almond and piecrust accents on the finish. A large-scale Yquem that shows the richness of the vintage. -- Non-blind Yquem vertical (July 2014). Best from 2020 through 2050. 10,000 cases made.
