Chateau d'Yquem Satuernes 2009
100 Points ÿ- ÿRobert Parker's Wine Advocate
Pale to medium gold-coloured, the 2009 d'Yquem bursts from the glass with gregarious crŠme caramel, allspice, dried apricots, mandarin peel and pineapple upside-down cake scents plus a fragrant undercurrent of fungi, acacia honey, candied ginger, musk perfume and frangipani. Full-bodied and full-on hedonic in the mouth, the rich, tightly wound layers are still amazingly youthful with bags of citrus sparks and an incredibly long, perfumed finish. Possessing a residual sugar of 157 grams per litre and 13.6% alcohol as well as a laser-focused line of freshness, the rock-solid structure and through-the-roof opulence here is simply mind-blowing. Pure perfection. ÿ
