never pressing its foot down hard on the accelerator

In the magnum format

Beyond the bright cherry and wild berry aromas are elegant mineral tones of granite and flint

in the single-vineyard expression from a now-celebrated underrated vintage

and the palate is medium to full-bodied and intense

dried rose and a saline mineral thread from the Cazetiers clay-limestone terroir

Mature aromas of dried fruit round things off

It is made from a selection of our oldest Cabernet sauvignon vines

finding that the finest 2011 reds from quality-focused domaines in the Côte de Beaune have developed a charm

Wine Spectator 94 pts Tasting Note : The 2016 Château d’Yquem

The palate is developing nicely quite primal

yet insanely pure and focused effort
