Description
Château d'Yquem 1990
Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé
Lot 7278: 6 bts - Purchased from Sotheby's Cheval Blanc and Yquem Direct from the Cellars Sale on 28 April 2012 in New York, in original tissues, 6 bts - Purchased from Sotheby's Cheval Blanc and Yquem Direct from the Cellars Sale on 28 April 2012 in New York, in original tissues, Lot 7279: Very good levels, appearance, color and clarity
At sweet sixteen, and from Jeroboam, this was totally 'on song', luscious, all-enveloping and super-opulent. Then there was a Double Magnum, with its incredible nose of peaches with a taste of peach kernels, and I wondered if the large formats are even better than the bottles in 1990. This was until my last bottle in 2011, which had such finesse in spite of a bouquet almost enveloped in sugar and a fantastic fruit bowl flavour. There are echoes of 1929 here. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
