Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1986
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
"This is another fascinating effort. With greater evidence of botrytis than the colossal 1983, but less power and alcohol, the 1986 Yquem tastes reminiscent of the 1975, only more precocious as well as more concentrated. Several highly respected Bordeaux n/aegociants who are Yquem enthusiasts claim the 1986 Yquem is the greatest wine produced at the property since the legendary 1937. Its enthralling bouquet of pineapples, sautéed hazelnuts, vanillin, and ripe apricots is breathtaking. Compellingly concentrated, this wine, in breadth as well as depth of flavor, seemingly know no limits. This full-bodied, powerful, yet impeccably balanced Yquem should provide memorable drinking for 40-55 more years." Robert Parker, Bordeaux, Third Edition
