it bursts from the glass with vivacious notes of wild blueberries

The palate has a very rich

A serious malbec showing tarry blackberries

crystalline encounter with the allure of the Santa Rita Hills

The rich and equally seductively textured medium-bodied flavors possess a bit more restraint while displaying a touch of youthful austerity on the firmer and grippier finish

Chateau d'Yquem, Sauternes, France 2016 375ml Domaine André Brunel - Les Cailloux it bursts from the glassA very classic Yquem. Breathtakingly wide spectrum of floral honey, exotic fruit (passion fruit, mango and pineapple), caramel and marzipan aromas. But none of this is a jot too much. In fact, the wine is extremely precise and finely nuanced. Wonderful freshness and textural complexity, in spite of the considerable concentration and extravagance. Very suave and sensual finish that goes on and on. Drink or hold. 99 Pts James Suckling
