Sounds delicious, ...   (syr1811)21.3.2009
Sounds delicious, but though I haven't tasted it, I'm skeptical of any of these "modern" Yquem's reaching the level on the order of the '67. Don't get me wrong,there still isn't another Sauternes that touches Yquem, but will we ever see the otherworldly intensity that imbued Yquem in the 50's & 60's? It's true that finesse has been raised to it's zenith, but I miss those past monsters & dream that one day we'll see the finesse of today's wines paired with the stupendous intensity of yore
