Château d'Yquem 1986

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé

u.2bn, labels scuffed, 1 slightly bin-marked, 1 soiled, 1 damp soiled, front labels 2 slightly stained, 1 damp soiled, capsules slightly scuffed, 1 nicked at bottom edge, 1 ceased and torn at top, 1 slightly sunken cork

In 2023, the nose is all tarry botrytis and then come the apricots. The honied sweetness on the palate is matched by fresh acidity. Luscious and all-enveloping - and superb with all the rich dried fruit of mince pies! There is a terrific aftertaste of barley sugar, contributing to the mega impact of this wine. One sees why the late Jean-Pierre Moueix, a great connoisseur of Yquem, compared it with the 1937. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

奔放濃郁的蜜餞山楂香。橙皮味令人飄飄欲仙。酒體圓渾豐腴，充滿熱帶地區的甘沛果香。我覺得她的風韻隨年月而增長。或帶焦油氣息，還有苦橙皮味。濃濃的西柚甘香，試過就會明白，已故的伊甘堡鑑賞權威 Jean-Pierre Moueix 為何將之與1937年份相提並論。在酒杯中不斷流露盡善盡美的本色。 施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
