SAUTERNES
Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1990
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
In original wooden case
"...The wine's medium gold color is accompanied by an exceptionally sweet nose of honeyed tropical fruits, peaches, and apricots. High-quality, subtle toasty oak is well integrated. The wine is massive on the palate, with layers of intensely ripe botrytis-tinged fruit. Surprisingly good acidity and a seamless, full-bodied power and richness are remarkably harmonious and pure. It is tempting to compare this wine with with such behemoths as the 1989 and 1983. Certainly it is one of the richest Yquems I have ever tasted, with 50-75 years potential longevity...."
