Tasting notes

“The bouquet is at once pure and concentrated, bursting with notes of roasted rhubarb, lilac blossom and citrus fruit, peppered with a dash of cedar and beeswax. The 2023 vintage is velvety smooth and expansive on the palate, with an almond-laced texture which further elevates its sense of liveliness and power. The full-bodied structure is woven through with notes of apricot, dark plum and mandarin orange marmalade, building up to a long, indulgent finish. 2023 Château d’Yquem epitomises the miraculous power of noble rot, producing a wine of rare intensity which will gradually reveal its full grandeur over the coming years and decades.”
