This has a broad and unctuous feel, with nectarine, apricot and mango notes leading the way and creating an opulent feel, though there are also racy bitter almond, orange blossom and elderberry accents for contrast and range. The lush finish is carried by mango and pie crust. Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Best from 2028 through 2040.

The 2020 d'Yquem presents a fresh bouquet with aromas of white fruits, orchard fruits and mango, complemented by a hint of spring flowers. It's perfectly balanced and moderately weighted compared to other vintages, making it a tense, penetrating d'Yquem. Despite the challenges of the growing season and a brief harvest (which began on September 30th and concluded on October 12th), d'Yquem's team managed to produce a mere 40,000 bottles, a modest yield in recent years.
