BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Sweet, fresh, honeyed nose; rich, refined, middleweight Yquem; very sweet, long, succulent, graceful, and refined flavor, neither particularly big nor imposing, but with great subtlety and length across the palate. An understated, complex, complete, harmonious Yquem, with terrific persistence of flavor. A beauty—and a very clear cut above anything else in Sauternes this year. Now–2035+ 18.5
