Lot 1 Details
CHÂTEAU D'YQUEM 2010 (OWC)

Sauternes. Premier Cru Supérieur

Pale to medium lemon-gold color, the 2010 d'Yquem has retreated into its shell at this youthful stage, offering spritely suggestions of lemon curd, lime cordial and green mango with wafts of honeysuckle, spice cake, sea spray and beeswax plus a hint of gingerbread. The palate really comes through with super intense, tightly wound citrus, savory and mineral layers carried by a laser-precise backbone of freshness, finishing with crazy persistence that lingers a full three minutes and then some. This is going to be a very exotic, opulent Yquem! March 2020 Drink to 2065 WA 98

12 hf. bts.    per lot $2,700 - $2,900

Realised: $3,792
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
