96 Yquem

1996 Chateau d'Yquem;
(Demi) Golden big time, lots of vanilla, barrique, marmalade, botrytis, heavy, almost smokey aromas, orange and orange peel, touch of minerals beneath. Big and heavy texture and feel, a bit bitter, ripe, acidity is not quite up there, honney, almost beery finish. 89 (uncertain storage, from Philipson wine, Denmark)
