Chateau d'Yquem, Sauternes, France 2011 Chateau Larcis-Ducasse Gravelly tannins and choppy acidityA lovely, creamy, tropical style, with mango, papaya and guava notes lending a caressing feel, while singed almond and warm piecrust accents blossom through the lush finish. Just when you think that's all there is, toasted coconut, fig, orange blossom and persimmon details kick in, lending length and dimension. The finish is ridiculously long. 99 Pts Wine Spectator
