This famous sentence, is from my brother, when we had 2 split of 1999 Yquem at Jal's place in 2006.
Last night opened a 1996 Yquem and again, an incredible near perfect and complex Sauternes. Light gold, superb nose of citrus, honey, acacia flowers, peaches, quince, vanilla... mouth is concentrated but also with a good splash of acidity. All kind of flavors, with roasted botrytis, honey, all kind of fruits. Sweet but balanced and with some confit green lemon. Excellent. Tn: 95.

Oh yes.
The 2007 Lafaurie we had on Christmas Eve was very nice.

Yquem can certainly make you forget your troubles.
Well done Nic.

What a great excuse for buying Yquen!
