Compared with the flamboyant aromatics of the 1997, Yquem's 1996 plays it closer to the vest, although there is a lot going on. Light gold with a tight but promising nose of roasted hazelnuts intermixed with creme brulee, vanilla beans, honey, orange marmalade, and peaches, this medium to full-bodied offering reveals loads of power in its restrained, measured personality. There is admirable acidity, weight, texture, and purity in this impeccably made Yquem. However, patience will be a virtue. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2060.

Bordeaux Futures is an excellent way to order top quality Bordeaux wine before it is released to the general market. Often this is the only way to obtain highly sought-after, extremely limited quantity wines from the producers.

I have just recently joined the Liquor Square team, after 6+ years as an assistant manager at Pascale’s Liquors in Liverpool. I enjoy soft reds and light, fruity whites.
