Yquem 1990

Château d’Yquem is a Premier Cru Supérieur Classé property that not only sits atop the highest hills in Sauternes, it also overshadows most other sweet wines in the world in terms of its extraordinary consistency, complexity and longevity. The 1990 is yet another astonishing release that completes a remarkable trilogy of vintages. It is full-bodied, unctuous and incredibly powerful, with remarkable fruit concentration, deep layers of complexity and seamless balance throughout. Though certainly in its prime drinking window, this has all the necessary elements to continue on an upwards trajectory for perhaps the next two decades.
