Falstaff
Leuchtendes mittleres Grüngelb, silberfarbene Reflexe. Attraktive reife gelbe Tropenfrucht, Honig und Lanolin, etwas Kokos, kandierte Mandarinenzesten, floraler Touch, feines Karamell im Hintergrund. Stoffig, elegant, reife Ananas, gelber Pfirsich, im Kern präsentes neues Holz, feine Honignuancen, wirkt opulent im Abgang, geprägt von einigem Babyspeck, kraftvolles Finale, sicheres Reifepotenzial.

Very transparent and elegant with white peaches, lilacs, and light caramel. Medium-bodied, sweet and agile with salted caramel and dried orange character. Spicy botrytis at the end. Give this three or four years to come together.

On the fresh, bright vibrant, racy side of the style range with a focus on its complex core of honeysuckle, dried oranges, apricots, lemon curd, saffron, marzipan, pineapple, vanilla, and just the right drizzle of honey to top everything off. It is cut, and defined, with length, purity, lift, and ample acidities giving lift, length, and vibrancy, as well as richness, balance, and complexity. I love this style of d'Yquem because it works as a sweet wine that can be enjoyed either on its own or with a myriad of savory courses. So, if you cannot keep your hands off it, enjoy it on the young side for all its luscious, sweet, ripe, overripe, racy fruits, or age it for decades as it gains secondary nuances. Drink from 2025-2065.
