Château d'Yquem 2001 Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé12 hbs - Banded prior to inspection, in original tissues, 12 hbs - Banded prior to inspection, in original tissuesPierre Lurton did the blending for this vintage - and what a beginning. It is just so lemony on the nose, an amazing explosion of lemon curd aromas and flavours. Extraordinary creamy brilliance - like a diamond. Unbelievably pure and 'magnetic'. Stunningly fresh and immediate. Seamless silky opulence with perfect acidity and balance. Yes, I admit the obvious - I simply adore this. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 10024 hbs (2 owc)Estimates are per lot
