The acidity is as important as the freshness, giving a delicious lift to the core of dry, concentrated botrytis. Obviously a great wine for long-term aging in a great Sauternes year. (RV) (12\/2009)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 95 points Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSporting a medium lemon-gold color, the 2008 d'Yquem is forward, displaying an already complex, compellingly savory\/earthy nose of toasted almonds, cloves, damp soil, crushed stones and yeast extract with a core of peach preserves, lemon tart, dried pineapple and allspice. Rich, spicy and decadent in the mouth, with a racy backbone lifting the fruit, it finishes long and multilayered. (LPB) (8\/2019)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 95 points Int'l Wine Cellar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBright light gold. Ripe cling peach, fresh apricot, spices, coconut, minerals and white flowers on the nose, with a note of vanillin oak emerging with air; subdued but wonderfully pure and precise. At once thick and light on its feet, showing an utterly seamless texture and compelling sweetness but also lovely inner-mouth tension thanks to its suave acidity and underlying minerality. The new oak element is in harmony with the wine's fruit already. Really dusts the palate on the back end and builds inexorably. The explosive finish leaves behind a perfumed spice character. The clear star in my 2008 tasting.

Creamy coconut and green plum notes fill in on the finish, which has admirable length. A restrained, lighter style, with lovely precision. (JM) (7\/2012)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Decanter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere is a lovely purity to the fruit and clear botrytis concentration, if less than in the great years. Has all the hallmarks of a fine, elegant Yquem. A very polished, well-presented sample. 18.5\/20 points. (6\/2009)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Jancis Robinson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eQuiet on the nose. More spiced pear and apricot than orange. Lovely concentration. Spiced power, depth and quite warm on the finish. Fresh in a powerful rather than a delicate way. Dense and long. Rich and well-integrated oak though there's lots of spice all the way through. A less delicate style than many in this vintage.
