2 Oz pour at Saison in SF.
A tiny bit disappointed, to be honest, compared to the other d'Yquem vintages I've had. Found the 2015 to be superior. But it's still d'Yquem, so perhaps I'm being too harsh.
This is still a great Sauternes, but a little thinner on the palate and it's not just the young age.
Apricot, marmalade, pineapple cake, citrus. Nice acidity, balanced sweetness, maybe even some tannins on this.
I did enjoy it a lot, but expected a little more.
Perhaps age will help.
93 points (on a dessert wine scale).
