Château d'Yquem 1990 (12 BT)

Château d'Yquem 1990

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé

Good general appearance, importer's details on back labels in Traditional Chinese

In 2025, 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

2018年品嚐，此酒也許已經達至巔峰狀態，非常甜美，不輸1929年份。口感濃郁，滿是桃味和蜜餞甜味，使人沈醉其中。大瓶和極大瓶裝的1990年份帶有更明顯的清新氣息，不過標準瓶裝則極為香甜。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
