Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1988 impériale (1) "More recently (2000) at Len Evans' 'Imperial Dinner' preceding the '83, very sweet, good flesh and finish. The following year, honeyed depth, fairly powerful, perfect acidity. Last noted at the white/red summit at Schloss Johannesburg, Nov 2001 ***** Long Life ." MB, Vintage Wine Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1989 impériale (1) "The wine is extremely alcoholic and rich, with a huge nose of smokey, honey-covered coconuts and overripe pineapples and apricots. As with young vintages of Yquem, the wine's structure is barely noticeable. These wines are so highly extracted and rich yet approachable young, it is difficult to believe they will last for 50 or more years. The 1989 is the richest Yquem made in the eighties, and it has an edge in complexity over the powerhouse 1983. It remains to be seen whether this wine will develop the extraordinary aromatic complexity possessed by the promising 1988 and 1986 Yquems." Robert Parker Wine Advocate, #98 (Apr 1995) Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1990 impériale (1) "An amalgam of my recent notes: limpid yellow-gold; perfect richness and ripeness on the nose; 'classic'; very sweet, full, fleshy, velvety, richly flavoured, perfect balance. 'Perfect now, yet great future'. Last tasted at the Wine Experience, New York, Dec 1998 *****" MB, Vintage Wine
