Château d'Yquem 2010 (375 ml)

98 bod. - Wine Advocate

Već vijekovima postoji konsenzus među ljubiteljima vina da je Château d'Yquem najveće slatko vino na svijetu. Kao jedino imanje s oznakom Premier Cru Supérieur u prestižnoj apelaciji Sauternes, Château d’Yquem predstavlja vrhunac svoje klase. Svaka berba odražava beskompromisnu posvećenost kvalitetu, nudeći savršen balans raskoši, kompleksnosti i dugovječnosti.

Čistoća berbe 2010., posebno u pogledu Botrytisa, izuzetno je impresivna. Arome se otvaraju limunskim kremom i bagremovim cvijetom, zatim prelaze na sušeno voće poput jabuke i manga, a na kraju se pojavljuje predivna začinska nota. Vino je punog tijela i veoma slatko, ali istovremeno nevjerovatno svježe i živahno, odiše elegancijom i profinjenošću. Ova kombinacija delikatnosti i intenziteta djeluje zaista očaravajuće.

98 points - The Wine Advocate

There has been a consensus for centuries among wine aficionados that Chateau d'Yquem is the greatest sweet wine in the world.  As the only estate to hold the Premier Cru Supérieur designation in Bordeaux's esteemed Sauternes appellation, Château d’Yquem represents the pinnacle of its class.  Each vintage reflects an unparalleled dedication to quality, showcasing a balance of opulence, complexity, and longevity.

The purity of the 2010 vintage, especially with respect to the Botrytis, is very impressive.  The aromas begin with lemon curd and honeysuckle, then move on to dried fruits such as apple and mango, and finally a lovely spicy character.  This is full-bodied and very sweet, but also incredibly fresh and lively, with real class and elegance. This shows a delicacy and intensity that are spellbinding.
