Fine Wines from the Estate of Wilfred Yu, Toronto. Perfectly Stored in a Custom Built Wine Cellar.
2009 Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes Premier Cru Superieur from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 100 points, Falstaff Magazine 100 points, Wine Enthusiast 100 points, Jean-Marc Quarin 100 points, The Wine Independent 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2009 Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes Premier Cru Superieur from Robert Parker - with a score of 100. In comparison to the 2010 vintage, the 2009 d'Yquem is more concentrated with a stunning rôti, the consequence of noble rot in French. Developing a powerful, complex bouquet with aromas of pineapple, apricot, saffron, flowers, spices and orchard fruits, it’s dense and concentrated, full-bodied and layered with a crystalline texture complicated by notes of white truffles that reveal a racy, endless and a superb finish concluding with a pristine harmony. Readers with bottles in their cellars will have to be patient before opening this masterpiece with 155 grams of residual sugar.
