Description
Chateau d'Yquem 1998Sauternes
2owc
Half-Bottle (24)
"The 1998 Chateau Yquem was released several months ago. This estate does not allow tasting from cask (where the wine spends 42 months), and it is not released until five years after the vintage. The 1998 Yquem (95 points) is a great success. Made in an elegant style, it is not a blockbuster such as 1990, 1989, and 1988. It is well-delineated, with wonderfully sweet aromas of creme brulee, pineapples, apricots, and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, it is not as sweet as the biggest/richest Yquem vintages, but it is gorgeously pure, precise, and strikingly complex. Already approachable, it should evolve for 30-50 years... without a doubt." (95 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Oct. 2003)
“Pale gold colored, the 1998 d’Yquem features a flamboyant, rock-star nose of allspice, candied ginger, honeycomb and crème brûlée with a core of preserved lemons, mandarin peel and musk perfume plus a waft of potpourri. Beautifully balanced in the mouth, with seamless freshness lifting the decadent sweetness, it culminates with fantastically persistent layers of exotic spices.” (95 pts. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, May 2018)
