'Pale yellow with green reflections. Still very underdeveloped on the nose, nuances of apricot jam, candied orange peel, fine blossom honey with lanolin, delicate oak savouriness, nuances of ripe fig, herbal savouriness. Mineral on the palate, fine citrus notes, pleasantly salty, finely structured, the residual sugar is barely noticeable, still completely embryonic, very juicy, creamy texture, racy acidity structure of lemongrass and citrus zest, sweet stone fruit notes, complex and persistent, a great promise for the future, a certain ageing potential classic.' Peter Moser, Falstaff, 97/100. (Tasted November 2011).
'This is a beautiful Yquem, not huge or powerful, but with crispness, honey and freshness, very expressive of the year. The higher than usual proportion of Sauvignon in the blend gives it a real lift.' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 95/100. (Tasted 2005)
