CHATEAU D'YQUEM 1983 |

Château d'Yquem 1983 Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classéu. 7bn, 3vts, 1ts, slightly scuffed labels and capsules, 1 slight sign of seepageIn 2015, and from an Imperial, an amazing botrytis and grapefruit nose. Then the apricots and caramel come rolling in. Rich crème brûlée Yquem, with fresh, peachy acidity and a real youthful spring in its step, probably due to the large format. Ends on a juicy oranges note. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 9611 hbs (sc)Estimates are per lot
