Throwback to a visit to Château d’Yquem

Tasting the 2015 vintage at the estate was a memorable experience. This wine received 100 points from most critics, and it was easy to understand why. Even during primeurs, it was perfectly balanced, with impressive concentration and freshness. Notes of dried apricot, peach, and pineapple stood out, with vibrant acidity and seamless oak integration.

I understood the meaning of a 100-point wine that day.
