Description
Showcases Yquem’s ability to translate warmth into finesse. Careful harvesting and ruthless selection produced a wine of depth and clarity, marrying generous fruit with precision. Yohan Castaing writing for The Wine Advocate contends it is “a strong candidate for the title of wine of the vintage”. A bold statement considering the quality and potential of 2022 in Bordeaux. Expect a complex spectrum of stone fruit, candied citrus, vanilla pod, and subtle spice, carried by a satin texture and energizing acidity. The finish is expansive and refined rather than weighty. Presented here in three half-bottles, it offers flexibility and impeccable cellaring potential. Approachable with air today, it will gain complexity and aromatic breadth with time. High-level drinking window: 2027–2055+, and well beyond. In fact one well-known critic has proclaimed “It will live forever!”
Released in the UK for £375/3x375ml In-Bond
