Description

Details

The 2010 d'Yquem presents a captivating deep yellow color with a golden tinge, signaling its richness. The nose is a symphony of intense aromas, featuring very ripe tropical fruits, beeswax, honey, raisin, and a hint of saffron, all lifted by a strong mineral edge. On the palate, it is full-bodied and broad yet remarkably light on its feet, offering refined flavors of ripe citrus, mango, papaya, and exotic spices, interwoven with tangy botrytis. The wine is perfectly balanced with controlled power, a deep, fleshy core of fruit, and bright acids that enhance its complexity. The finish is long, smooth, and floral, showcasing impeccable balance and precision, with a lively acidity that promises stunning aging potential.



Robert Parker - 95 Points

"Exhibiting notions of saffron, pineapple, apricot, exotic fruits and spices, the 2010 d'Yquem is full-bodied, broad and enveloping, perfectly balanced with controlled power and a deep, fleshy core of fruit enhanced by bright acids. It has stunning aging potential despite a slight touch of volatile acidity. Residual sugar: 138 grams per liter."


Antonio Galloni - 96+ Points

"Deep yellow with a golden tinge. Intense aromas of very ripe tropical fruit, beeswax, honey and raisin are lifted by a strong mineral edge. Very fresh, rich and sweet on entry, then extremely light on its feet, with refined flavors of ripe citrus, mango, papaya, honey and saffron complicated by tangy botrytis. A very bright and focused Yquem, with lively acidity and a long, smooth, floral finish. Boasts impeccable balance and lovely precision. This terrific Yquem is very stylish but less massively opulent than vintages like 1989 and 1983."
