Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1990
1 dozen bottles per lot
Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1990 Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé All lots in original wooden cases Parcel: lots 455-464 "1990: An extraordinary effort, Yquem's 1990 is a rich and fabulously superb, sweet wine. This wine also possesses lots of elegance and finesse. The wine's medium gold color is accompanied by an exceptionally sweet nose of honeyed tropical fruits, peaches, coconut, and apricots. High quality, subtle toasty oak is well-integrated. The wine is massive on the palate, with layers of intensely ripe botrytis-tinged, exceptionally sweet fruit. Surprisingly well-integrated acidity, and a seamless, full-bodied power and richness have created a wine of remarkable harmony and purity. Certainly it is one of the richest Yquems I have ever tasted, with 50-100 years of potential longevity. An awesome Yquem! Anticipated maturity: 2003-2050+." Robert Parker Wine Advocate #122 (Apr 1999) 1 dozen bottles per lot
