The palate confirms the wine is still a little closed and shut down, offering achingly gorgeous glimpses at the tightly wound, intricate layers structured with a racy acid line and wonderfully creamy texture, finishing incredibly long and perfumed. This decadent flavor bomb still needs a good five to seven years in bottle before it is set to go off, but oh what a spectacle it will give then!

It’s the concentration of botrytis that makes the wine. The texture is velvet, but with a spicy bite to it. Apricot, honey and marzipan all contribute to a wine that will age over decades. *Cellar Selection* (RV)\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Inner quote mark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.klwines.com\/images\/InnerQuote.gif\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(12\/2009)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"H2ReviewNotes\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e97 points\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWine Spectator\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Outer quote mark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.klwines.com\/images\/OuterQuote.gif\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThis has a deliciously pure feel, with juicy, inviting green plum, ginger, heather, creamed pineapple and Jonagold apple flavors all melded together and gliding through the lengthy finish, which echoes with lilting flowers and dried citrus notes.

The bouquet is gorgeous, finely-tuned and precise with clear honey, vanilla pod and saffron, less of the almond that I have noticed previously. The palate is built around its exquisite poise, the acidity keeping this Yquem on its tip-toes. As I have noted before, it appears to be gaining in concentration and viscosity with age, lovely fig and tangerine notes combining with a slight nuttiness on the finish.
