Tasted from a 375ml bottle. Light golden in color. The nose is nice with pineapples, honey and bit of peach. Also some vanilla. On the palate, this is viscous and rich. Not cloying but a little goes a long way. Good acidity that cuts through the sweetness. The pineapple carries thru. Nice finish. Probably best on its own or with some cheeses at the end of a meal. This should last for a couple of decades.
One of the better values in Sauternes. Light golden in color. The nose has with pineapples, honey and some of peach. On the palate, this is viscous and rich. Sweet but not cloying. Good acidity that cuts through the sweetness. Honey and Pineapple. Nice finish. This is great on its own and will work with a not too sweet dessert. Drink over the next fifteen to twenty years.
From a tremendous vintage, but this Sauternes is great in just about any vintage and one of the more reasonably priced ones at that. This was purchased on release and well stored. Medium golden/orange in color. The nose is great with honey, slight pineapple, slight saline and canned peaches. Medium to full bodied. On the palate, this is sweet not cloying. It has dropped some of its sweetness in the 19 years since release. Lots of depth and complexity. Layers of peaches, minerals and honey. Good acidity. Nice finish. This is great on its own and will work with a not too sweet frui
This is always a nice value in Sauternes. Its good without being crazy priced and in 2005, they rocked. Light golden in color. The nose has honey, pineapple, slight peach a ginger. Slightly viscous. The palate is sweet without being flabby. Honey and peaches. Clean finish. This is drinking well now and should continue for the next fifteen years. A nice match with a peach cobbler or less sweet fruit dessert.
Golden in color, some orange hues, clear and bright. The nose is lovely with apricot, peach, slight honey and a slight bitter note. Viscous. Full bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, slightly sweet, not cloying. Honey and apricot. Long finish. A good year if not great. Nice value. Drink over the next five to ten years. It works well with a shortbread (not too sweet) cookie.
Always a pleasure to drink d'Yquem. This vintage is 75% Semillon and 25% Sauvignon Blanc. From a 375ml bottle.
