Non-Blind Yquem Retrospective Tasting
Château d’Yquem 2010
A pure, racy, floral style with bright white peach, heather and honeysuckle notes driving along. The core of fresh orchard fruit notes is unctuous but the finish long and lacy, with marvelous cut and finesse. This shows the balance and elegance of a cooler year with a longer harvest period. Best from 2015 through 2045. 97 points.

Wenn ich mich richtig erinnere hat R.Gabriel den 1997 auch immer empfohlen,weil er vielfach preiswerter auf dem Markt erhältlich ist/war.
Den scheint James Molesworth auf gleich guten Level zu sehen .
