If chardonnay had a textbook, Hanzell would have its own chapter. — 11 years ago
Beautiful inky ruby color, medium-long finish. Tannins evolving. Wonderful fruit but just coming into its own. Needs more time. — 11 years ago
Super vibrant and exciting with great depth. Needs about 3 years to really come into its own. #closdesmouches #josephdrouhin #burgundy — 10 years ago
Settling into its own. Not overly green with some good fruit starting to poke its head out. — 11 years ago

Contrary to other wines, D'yquem is in a class of it's own in terms of Sauternes. There is rarely, if ever, a bad year, although some years, like the 2001, stand out more than others. The disparity in quality from a GREAT d'yquem to a mediocre one & so on isn't as drastic as one might imagine. While the older vintages seem to age VERY well, it isn't as discernible from a recent vintage as other wines. Sauternes, in general are consistent, & none more than d'yquem. — 11 years ago

Great value! You will be hard pressed to find a better wine under $10. Great with pork or red sauce and will stand on its own. Spicy cherry, not too heavy on the tannins. — 10 years ago
