Château d'Yquem 1988

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé

u. 4bn, 1 scuffed label, pen-marked labels

In 2024, as gorgeous as ever. Richly perfumed and all orange butterscotch. Mega freshness, orange zest and majesty on the palate. A real core of concentration and a fabulous marriage of sweetness and attack. One of the greats in the Yquem storybook. It was ever thus, so supremely on top of its game. Richly perfumed and all orange butterscotch. Opulent texture, celestial liquid marmalade and utterly satisfying, especially with apricot and frangipane tart. In 2024, I think this vintage may be the best Yquem of the lot! Serena Sutcliffe, MW
