Description

Chateau d'Yquem 1983
Sauternes
1sdc, owc
Bottle (12)
"Dark tawny already. Intense butterscotch nose with great richness but admirable freshness too. Super zesty and structured with a note of almonds and real weight. Not the sweetest vintage, it should go on and on." (18.5pts JR, April 2010)

"The 1983 is among the most concentrated wines from this property over the last 20 years, with a staggering display of extract and a mind-boggling amount of glycerin...At present, the 1983 is enormous, with huge, honeyed, pineapple, coconut, and caramel flavors, massive extract, and an unctuous quality barely framed by acidity and new oak." (96 pts. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book 3rd Ed., Jan. 1998)
