WineSaint
Outrageously rich and powerful, with dense aromas of apricot, orange blossom and exotic spice. The palate is weighty and concentrated, delivering waves of candied citrus, dried fruits and mineral complexity. Built for decades of aging, this shows the commanding presence that separates great Yquem from everything else.
