Classic, exciting Yquem. Silky, creamy and round, yet armed with plenty of intense botrytized flavours--dried apricot, raisin, dried fig. Full-bodied, with caramel and butterscotch complexity, it ends on a very intense finish. -- Wine Spectator, May 15, 1999

Glorious copper,mahogany colour. Sweet, gentle nose, but complex showing creme brulee, figs. Medium bodied on the palate, no obvious botrytis, sweet on initial entry with figs, caramel and a note of custard.

A peaceful harvest in ideal conditions trie after trie. A lot of purity, a botrytis less active than in 1986.
Intense nose, fresh, full bodied. Aromas reminding over ripe grapes, vanilla, pineapple, coconut, mango, guava, spices, orange, honey, acacia. In mouth, it is very concentrated, well balanced, round, fleshy, fat.
The finish is long, long, long ready to drink now but also with a good ageing potential.750ml bottle

Light golden colour. Delicate nose. Soft and gentle,ripe and fruity on the palate. This is balanced,elegant and long. Still enjoyable. Fragrant and honeyed at the end. Glorious......

Like many distinguished, elderly Sauternes it has shed some of its richness but still packs a punch in both content and intensity. There is more today of the caramel and dried fruit side than those marmalade notes more typical of younger Sauternes/ Barsacs. It tastes exquisite on its own, and would make a very fine match with well chosen, not too sweet puddings, or perhaps best simply with some dried fruit.
