CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2016 Yquem has a more serious bouquet than many other Sauternes, more nuanced with dried honey, lanolin, saffron and beeswax. The palate is exquisite, quite intense with pure botrytised fruit, just a patina of extant oak, yet real depth and enormous length. Marvellous, even if I would not place the 2016 in the top tier of Yquem vintages. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Containing 135 grams per liter of residual sugar, the pale lemon-gold colored 2016 d'Yquem leaps from the glass with honeyed apricots, pineapple, green mango, crushed rocks, candied ginger, coriander seed and citrus peel with hints of orange blossom. The palate is very tightly wound, vibrant and refreshing with layer upon layer of minerals and spices, finishing with epic poise and persistence.

Tasted blind. Smells a bit sugary. Heavy. Really heavy! Almost sickly. (JR)
