Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1988
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
One label very slightly bin-soiled
Tasting Note: The 1988 is a backward-styled Yquem, built along the lines of the extraordinary 1975. With a honeyed, smoky, orange/coconut/pineapple-scented nose, this powerful wine possesses full body, layers of highly concentrated, extracted flavors, considerable botrytis, and a sensational finish. Last tasted 12/97. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition Jan 1998
