Opulent and dripping with unctuous layers of viscose flavour intensity, this is a heartbreakingly beautiful expression. Creamy toffee and rich nutty almond tones swirl through boundless streams of raisin and dried fruit, sweeping under gorgeous streaks of caramel and plump nectarine.

Tasted at the château, the 2005 Chateau d’Yquem delivers a similar performance as last year. Lucid in colour, the bouquet is detailed with very pure honey, vanilla and almond scents, still a little new oak to be fully assimilated but demonstrating superb focus.

This is stunning from the start, with a silky and refined feel despite the panoply of dried quince, fig, pear and apricot flavors that are exotic in nature. Lovely green tea, orange blossom and persimmon notes fill in the background.

Intense acidity cuts through the rich and plump profile of this sweet version, creating harmony and focus. Shows a wide range of flavors, with golden raisin, fig and flambéed pear notes on the palate, delivering incredible purity.
