CHATEAU D'YQUEM 1981 |

Château d'Yquem 1981 Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classéu.1vts, slightly bin-soiled and damp-stained labels, 1 sign of seepagePeaches on the nose, more seen in a Vouvray than in a Sauternes! Such a wonderful orange brûlée taste. Tremendous peachy treacle too - liquid honey. Tops the 1980 for complexity. At 27 years old, this is the time to drink it.
