"Sauternes produced only two exceptional wines in 1982: Suduiraut and Yquem. Although I have encountered the 1982 Chateau d'Yquem three times, this bottle is the finest. It was an early vintage, with physiological maturity reached on September 16. Rain interrupted the harvest, which really only began in earnest on November 2, for only four days. It has a lucid amber colour, and a fully mature bouquet with tangerine and marmalade aromas that are pure and well-defined. Yes, there's a certain conservatism here, but one can't help but be seduced by its exquisite balance and linearity. It builds gently to a lovely finish of apricot and orange zest, with just a hint of rosewater lingering in the aftertaste." - Neal Martin
