Description

1er Cru Supérieur, Sauternes. The undisputed king of sweet wines, d'Yquem's 2005 is an extraordinary vintage of legendary richness and complexity.

Tasting Notes

Dazzling nose of apricot, mango, crème brûlée, saffron, and botrytis spice. Full-bodied and incredibly concentrated with perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. Layers of exotic fruit, honey, and spice lead to an endless, luminous finish. Will age for decades.
