CHATEAU D'YQUEM 1986 |

Château d'Yquem 1986 Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru ClasséVery slightly scuffed capsules and very slightly sunken corks, Taiwan importer's back labelThe most glorious honied mayblossom nose. Heavenly orange zest flavour. So rounded, so rich, so tropically luscious. I think this has become even more awesome with time. It can be tarry on the nose, with bitter orange zests. Tremendous grapefruit lusciousness on the palate - now one sees why the late Jean-Pierre Moueix, a great connoisseur of Yquem, compared it with the 1937. Pure beauty as it develops in the glass.
