Description

Château d'Yquem 1990

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé

u. 1bn, 1vts, 1 label very slightly scuffed; 1 étiquette très légèrement éraflée


In 2018, this may now be at peak in bottle form, or on a plateau, with the enormous sweetness, rivalling that of 1929. Rich in texture, ultra peachy and treacly, this is an Yquem to wallow in. Large, and very large, formats of the 1990 have more freshness, but this is super-luscious. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

WA 99


2 hbs (cn)


Removed from the climate-controlled cellar of a stunning Continental townhouse, a short but powerful selection of all the 1st Growths is followed by a great lineup of Classed Growth Claret to suit all pockets, Yquem, Romanée Conti and other great Burgundy gems, the property of a dedicated collector
