Nectar of the Gods
In 1993, Chateau d'Yquem in the Bordeaux region of France, celebrated 400 years of ownership by the same family. This half-bottle of 2003 d'Yquem is a blend of 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc and is very difficult to find at retailers anywhere. It is an amazing addition to any wine lover's cellar.
"Subtle and racy, with lemon rind, vanilla cream and dried pineapple. Very spicy and intense. Full-bodied, with great length and flavor. Electrified yet refined, with medium sweetness and a wonderful finish. I love the class of this, and the length. Has afterburners. Best after 2010."
-98 points, Wine Spectator
"A massive Yquem, this has a dense palate that is almost chewy like a red. Full and very sweet, with notes of dried apricot, pineapple, and papaya on the palate. Long, with a vanilla-coconut tart finish. What a wine, voluptuous, sexy, and luscious."
-98 points, James Suckling
