rhineclaude and a little citrus

Sa bouche possède une trame tannique parfois puissante dans sa jeunesse et devient charnue et soyeuse en vieillissant

But it's a cabinet and not a grand cru

Maturing: 18 months in barriques

which is accompanied by a pleasant minerality

2008 Château D' Yquem Übersee rhineclaude and a little citrusParker Perrotti Brown 95 points: Sporting a medium lemon gold color, the 2008 d'Yquem is forward, displaying an already complex, compellingly savory earthy nose of toasted almonds, cloves, damp soil, crushed stones and yeast extract with a core of peach preserves, lemon tart, dried pineapple and allspice. Rich, spicy and decadent in the mouth, with a racy backbone lifting the fruit, it finishes long and multilayered.
