About the wine

Tasting notes

Burnished hue in the glass, remarkably powerful and concentrated with endless layers of flavour. Aged in oak for 2.5 years, remarkably this could still benefit from further ageing and integration of oak. Despite the power and weight, the wine remains fresh and vibrant with driving acidity. Should improve for a decade and drink well for 30-40 years

Expert review

Beautiful golden-yellow colour. The bouquet displays great aromatic purity with very intense tropical fruit notes: passion fruit, pineapple, grapefruit, and apricot. Barrel ageing makes this intrinsically great vintage of Yquem even more delicious. In addition, the flavours are in total harmony with the bouquet. This classically elegant wine displays a perfect equilibrium between sweetness, acidity, and alcohol on the palate, with an extremely attractive overall balance. The complex botrytised nuances so appreciated by our tastebuds are of incredible quality here, reminding us that 2007 was a GREAT vintage for noble rot! ".
