Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1983
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
In original wooden case. Excellent appearance. Levels base of neck or better
Tasted on very many occasions, notes as glowing as the wine itself. In 2003, vertical at the château: a lovely orange gold with lime-coloured rim; initially low-keyed but harmonious, its ambrosial honey beyond description; sweet yet crisp, lovely fruit and flavour, excellent acidity. 'Perfect now'. Will keep. However, most recently, some bottle variation, a deeper old-gold colour and 'old apricots' bouquet; Last tasted at the château. April 2006. At best ***** M.B.
