Parker about Château d'Yquem Sauternes 2004
Served from an ex-chateau bottle. This replicated the performance in the Southwold blind tasting. The 2004 Chateau d'Yquem's bouquet is generous but not as complex as either the 2005 or indeed the 2006. The oak a little pronounced considering the age in bottle, but it does not leap at you shouting “I'm Yquem!” The palate has a viscous tangerine and orange peel opening with fine acidity. There is good weight in the mouth, with touches of spice and cardamom. It finishes just a little abruptly for a Yquem, a pretty note without requisite sustain.
