Starts quietly with fine apricot confit, delicate lanolin, white flowers, evolves and deepens with every minute in the glass. Fine nuances of blood oranges, roasted caramel nuances. Juicy and complex on the palate, highly elegant, the residual sugar is perfectly integrated, ripe yellow tropical fruit. Seems completely natural because everything is exactly in the right place, silky and not a trace too powerful, incredibly balanced and lively despite its depth, great minerality in the finish, Yquem is and remains the greatest sweet wine in the world.
