The wine reveals a delicate roast, fresh without ever falling into exuberance, with an incomparable aging potential. The 2016 Chateau DYquem is pure magic and dessert wines dont get much better. Offering a pale gold color as well as a blockbuster bouquet of honeyed tangerines, tart apricots, liquid rocks, white flowers, and honeysuckle, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, an opulent texture, vibrant acidity, and again, an incredible sense of minerality, despite having no shortage of sweetness or richness. The 2016 Chateau DYquem is a classic blend of 75% Smillon and 25% Sauvignon that hit 14.2% alcohol with 135 grams of residual sugar. Its already complex and approachable yet will keep for 3-4 decades.
