Details
Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1983
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé. Château-bottled
Lots 98 and 99 slightly damp affected labels. Lot 100 bin-soiled and damaged labels. All levels into neck
Tasting note: never very deep in colour, now an attractive orange-gold colour, its bouquet emitting the usual scents, but with great intensity, apricots, honeyed botrytis, créme brûlée; a sweet, creamy wine masking considerable power and assertiveness. Superb yet still evolving. Five stars. Last tasted November 2000. M.B.
