1998 Château d'Yquem - Sauternes 1er Cru Supérieur - 1 Bottle (0.75L)

Bottle in perfect state ! “95/100 - The 1998 Chateau Yquem was released several months ago. This estate does not allow tasting from cask (where the wine spends 42 months) , and it is not released until five years after the vintage. The 1998 Yquem (95 points) is a great success. Made in an elegant style, it is not a blockbuster such as 1990, 1989, and 1988. It is well-delineated, with wonderfully sweet aromas of creme brulee, pineapples, apricots, and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, it is not as sweet as the biggest/richest Yquem vintages, but it is gorgeously pure, precise, and strikingly complex. Already approachable, it should evolve for 30-50 years . . . without a doubt. ” Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate 149 – Octobre 2003
