Château d`Yquem 1985 is a legendary dessert wine from the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux. Produced from a blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, it offers a complex profile of orange marmalade, honey, dried apricots and crème brûlée. The 1985 harvest provided ideal conditions for a concentrated and botrytised style that still maintains a high level of natural acidity. It is a world-class sweet wine with an extraordinary ability to age.

The 1985 Yquem has come my way a few times in recent years, but sadly, it never really impresses. The aromatics come across as one-dimensional compared to others: barley sugar and mandarin, later dried honey. It never really takes off. The palate is balanced yet more bitter than I recall, the finish rather disjointed and with a bit of VA. Drink now. Tasted at the château. Neal Martin28th May 2025
