Château Yquem 2001 (Magnum)

Château Yquem ist der Süsswein par Excellence - ein reicher und harmonischer Dessert-Wein mit einer ausserordentlich weichen Textur. Eine Assemblage aus zwei Rebsorten: Sémillon bringt Struktur und Kraft und Cabernet wurde für seinen Geschmack und seine Raffinesse gewählt. Dank der äusserst langen Reifung von 40 Monaten in neuen Fässern kann ein Château Yquem Jahrzehnte lang gelagert werden.

The 2001 Yquem reveals a hint of green in its light gold color. While somewhat reticent aromatically, with airing, it offers up honeyed tropical fruit, orange marmalade, pineapple, sweet creme brulee, and buttered nut-like scents. In the mouth, it is full-bodied with gorgeously refreshing acidity as well as massive concentration and unctuosity. Everything is uplifted and given laser-like focus by refreshing acidity.
