2005 Chateau D'Yquem Sauternes 375 ML RP--95--98 WS--95--100

Wine Spectator: 95--100 Points
Score: BT Release Price: $NA Current Auction Price: $360 Country: France Region: Sauternes Issue: Jun 30, 2006 Designation: Barrel Tasting Floral, lemon, apple and cream with dried pineapple and apricot. Full-bodied, but very focused and refined. It starts slowly and then, wham! It goes on and on. Spicy, dried fruits and spices. Full-bodied, medium-sweet. So long and exciting. It is very close to 2001. We will see. Score range: 95-100 –JS

In Asia # 0110 Jan 2010 Lisa Perrotti-Brown 92 Drink: N/A $333-$1807 Somewhat muted floral aromas of jasmine, orange blossom and honeysuckle over candied pineapple. A waft of anise and some cedar. The palate is quite restrained with well balanced sweetness versus medium to high acidity. Very long finish – a mineral character coming through. Tasted August 2009.
