- Luscious
- Full Bodied
Ready - mature
Product: 20011016907
Description
Still in barrel, this Chateau d'Yquem look-alike exhibits powerful creme brulee characteristics along with some volatile acidity, huge, full-bodied, unctuously textured flavors, ample intensity as well as purity, and caramelized tropical fruits. This brawny heavyweight requires 5-6 years of bottle age, and should evolve for three decades.
