Description

Chateau d'Yquem 1988
Sauternes
2bn, 1ts, 1lbsl, 3lscl, 2spc, 3 amber color
Bottle (3)

Wines from an estate in New Mexico. All wines were stored in a temperature controlled vault.

“The 1988 Yquem is similar to the bottle I tasted two years earlier, one of my favorite vintages from that decade. Orange pith, quince, wax resin, and mandarin blossom on the nose, yet there is more control and focus than in other warmer vintages. The palate is underpinned by a wonderful frisson of acidity that cuts a swathe through the viscous fruit with Clementine and touches of crème brûlée on the finish. It’s firing on all cylinders, and I envisage it remaining there for some time.” (96 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Feb. 2024)
