Château d'Yquem Sauternes 2010

Medium yellow gold in color with a slightly watery meniscus. Nose is high intensity with royal jelly, honeycomb, orange marmalade, butterscotch, candied apricot, canned peaches, crystallized pineapple. Palate is medium plus body, medium acidity, perfect balance between acidity and sweetness - not cloying at all. Ripe and candied apricot, poached peach, pineapple, crystallized pineapple, jasmine tea, bergamot, fresh honeycomb, orange marmalade. Incredibly concentrated and rich yet light and ethereal on the palate. Infinite finish. 96+ points.
