CHATEAU D'YQUEM 1983 |

Château d'Yquem 1983 Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé1 bottle comes from different importer, 4 slightly scuffed labels, 4 bottles with slightly lighter color, sunken corks, signs of seepage, 3 stained capsules, 1 nicked labelIn 2015, and from an Imperial, an amazing botrytis and grapefruit nose. Then the apricots and caramel come rolling in. Rich crème brûlée Yquem, with fresh, peachy acidity and a real youthful spring in its step, probably due to the large format. Ends on a juicy oranges note. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 9611 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
