Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1986
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé. Château-bottled
Levels: twenty-three very top shoulder, one top shoulder; signs of old seepage
In original wooden case, damaged lid
Tasting Note: "The most recent bottle of '86 Yquem demonstrated anew the classic nature of this vintage of the preeminent Sauternes. The wine at almost 25 is showing a lovely, intense botrytis character on the nose along with an expressive, tangy exotic character to the fruit and a hint of ginger and spice, yet the wine is not overly developed. On the palate the wine is certainly sweet but not to excess - everything here is stylish and very balanced. A very complex wine - amazing." CC, December 2010
