Sadly, consumed too quickly with a perfect food match.  From a half bottle, still some cane sugar attributes to integrate, hold off 5 years if possible.  This is a very promising vintage, but this bottle a bit more closed down than the last two years ago which had more baby fat.  Has the stuffing to become an exceptional wine with the right age on it.  94 points...

I've had a couple bottles since July albiet 750ml I find this wine very precocious. For a 12 year old Yquem it is showing IMO very well. I do believe that of course it will get better and better as years pass but I see no reason not to enjoy a bottle or two right now.
