Yquem - 2006 (375ml) Pinot Noir high reward effort

high reward effort

it continues to put on weight as it is bottled very late by Napa standards

Consistently an astonishing wine

I have had the wine a half-dozen or more times

Yquem - 2006 (375ml) Pinot Noir high reward effortServed from an ex chateau bottle. The 2006 Chateau dYquem has a slightly reticent bouquet at first that unfolds in the glass. There aromas are well behaved at first, but then start having some fun with lovely scents of dried honey, dried quince, marzipan and beeswax. Delving further into the aromatics there is a hint of spice and white pepper. The palate is extremely well balanced with a viscous opening. There is great harmony and composure here
