Score 16.5/20 · Drink 1970-2028, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2021
Pale yellowy amber. Smells quite youthful! Lots of acidity and less dense than most Yquems. Light-bodied and with a little bit of grapefruit pith. Most unexpected. Light and tight. Sudden end. This tastes as though it were 50 years younger. Yquem Lite? Or a luncheon Yquem? (JR)
