Lot #124. d'Yquem 2001

Description: Consists of 1 Half Bottle, 0.375L
Score: 100 RP.
"The 2001 Yquem reveals a hint of green in its light gold color. While somewhat reticent aromatically, with airing, it offers up honeyed tropical fruit, orange marmalade, pineapple, sweet creme brulee, and buttered nut-like scents. In the mouth, it is full-bodied with gorgeously refreshing acidity as well as massive concentration and unctuosity. Everything is uplifted and given laser-like focus by refreshing acidity. This large-scaled, youthful Yquem appears set to take its place among the most legendary vintages of the past, and will age effortlessly for 75+ years." Wine Advocate #158, Apr 2005
Provenance: The Irlandais Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $425
