Château d'Yquem 2001 (24 HB)

Château d'Yquem 2001

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé

Taiwan importer's back labels

Pierre Lurton did the blending for this vintage - and what a beginning. It is just so lemony on the nose, an amazing explosion of lemon curd aromas and flavours. Extraordinary creamy brilliance - like a diamond. Unbelievably pure and 'magnetic'. Stunningly fresh and immediate. Seamless silky opulence with perfect acidity and balance. Yes, I admit the obvious - I simply adore this. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

WA 100

皮雅．樂頓負責混製這年份的佳釀，那是多麼好的開始。此酒充滿檸檬的香氣，有一種爆炸力十分強勁的檸檬乳酪的芳香和味道。妙不可言的婉柔光澤，儼如一枚美鑽。純淨得令人吃驚，口感吸引，既清新又直接。美如瑰麗無瑕的絲絨，並有一份近乎完美的平衡酸香。沒錯，我並不諱言，我真的對她傾情不已。 施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
