CHATEAU D'YQUEM 1988 |

Château d'Yquem 1988 Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classéu. 12bnThe harvest finished on 25 November, with fantastic weather and no rain. In 2019, rich, tarry and treacly on the nose, with orange zest notes. On the palate, thick sweetness balanced by fresh acidity giving life and vigour. Very impressive and a dream with my birthday cake, a classic Norwegian bløtkake, with all its creamy, Amontillado-infused sponge, walnuts and marzipan.
