Was lucky enough to try a glass of this at Acquerello in San Francisco.
Priced relatively well too!
I've been lucky enough to try a few different vintages of d'Yquem, but this is definitely the oldest I've had.
Drinking really nicely and telling me this can go on for quite a while.
Full body, long finish, balanced acidity, which is exactly what I want in a Sauternes.
Picked up apricot, marmalade, slight clove, orange, lemon cake notes.
2001 remains my favorite d'Yquem vintage to date, but this is up there!
94 points (on a dessert wine scale).
