“One of those Rip Van Winkle vintages that can be predicted to cellar not just for decades but for generations." - The Wine Advocate
|
|
2007 was, by all accounts, a vintage that should have been forgotten. It was a cool, rainy season with almost 100mm of rain in August. There was fruit damage with grapes splitting, and swelling, but September was a complete turnaround with selective picking on some Yquem's best gravelly terrors. The result was the great 2007 Yquem which not only is one of the finest bottlings to be produced, but a wine that will outlive us all - a wine for the ages! |

Pale to medium gold colored, the 2007 d'Yquem delivers powerful scents of tropical fruits—dried mangoes and pineapple paste—accented by acacia honey, toasted almonds and woodsmoke with hints of chalk dust, kettle corn and lime blossom. The palate reveals one of those vintages that shape-shifts into an apparently drier style than it is, largely thanks to its uber-racy backbone of freshness and layered mineral-inspired flavors, finishing with a regal, satin-textured savoriness. Difficult to resist now, this will be one of those Rip Van Winkle vintages that can be predicted to cellar not just for decades but for generations. For number crunchers: 14.2% alcohol, 137 grams per liter residual sugar, and total acidity is 3.7 grams per liter H2SO4. Drink 2019-2080--Lisa Perrotti-Brown. The Wine Advocate

2016 Chateau d'Yquem

The 2016 Chateau D’Yquem is pure magic and dessert wines don’t get much better. Offering a pale gold color as well as a blockbuster bouquet of honeyed tangerines, tart apricots, liquid rocks, white flowers, and honeysuckle, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, an opulent texture, vibrant acidity, and again, an incredible sense of minerality, despite having no shortage of sweetness or richness. The 2016 is a classic blend of 75% Sémillon and 25% Sauvignon that hit 14.2% alcohol with 135 grams of residual sugar. It’s already complex and approachable yet will keep for 3-4 decades. Jeb Dunnuck

This bottle of 1989 Climens replicates the stunning showing at the château the previous year. Yellow plum and saron soars on the electrifying nose, just breathtaking delineation and vibrancy. The palate is likewise brimming over with energy, very intense yet brilliantly poised with a purity on the finish that I feel that Climens rarely achieved in that era. Killer. Tasted at the 1989 Bordeaux dinner at 67 Pall Mall July 2024. - Neal Martin, Vinous Media
