Yquem-1921-750ml-Vandermeulen-Dessert Wine-Yquem-France
Tasting Notes
| Robert Parker 100 |
| There is no doubt that the two most profound and mature Yquem made in the twentieth century were the 1921 (rated 100 on two separate occasions..) and the 1937. |
| Richard Olney |
| From Yquem by R. Olney. Often characterized as the greatest white wine of the century. "Suave, seductive, exotic liqueur-like aroma of candied fruits with floral touches, a scent of peppery yellow roses. Sumptuous, enveloping warmth. Ripe, complex palate. Rich in savours with spicy overtones and mouth vapours recalling green chartreuse, the ensemble contained by a remarkable overall homogeneity conferring upon the wine an aura of timelessness"( Robert Goffard, 1984) |
| Wine Spectator 97 |
| "With its brilliant orange-amber color, this is a truly elegant wine that balances its sweetness and flavors on a razor edge. The finish has apricot, vanilla, pear, toast, fig, tobacco and coffee. Amazingly complex for its seemingly delicate style, yet it sacrifices no sweetness." |
