Yquem 2001

Liquid gold in its most sublime form, the 2001 Yquem achieves a transcendent balance between power and finesse. Honeyed richness unfolds with layers of dried apricot, orange marmalade and exotic spice, while underlying acidity provides stunning lift and tension. The finish seems to last forever, revealing nuanced mineral notes that speak to Yquem's unique terroir. Simply magnificent—among the greatest expressions of Sauternes ever bottled.
