CHATEAU D'YQUEM 1997 SAUTERNES (375ML), 375ml (Half Bottle)
- Clive Coates MW (Rating 100) Pierre Lurton. 19.5+/20
- The nose is just fabulous; there is evident richness here, in the shape of some smoky botrytis, but what really sets the wine apart is the beautiful, crystal-like clarity it possesses.
- This characteristic carries through on the palate, which has a fine, cool purity and freshness, presented in a seemingly paradoxical fashion, as it is intertwined with great richness and a creamy vanilla seam which opens out, broadening across the palate. Wow! An amazing texture, with bright botrytis flavour and high quality candied fruits.
