Half bottle of Château d'Yquem, Sauternes 1988
White Wine from France - Bordeaux
The first vintage of the first trilogy of exceptional years at d'Yquem (there has only been one other trilogy, 2021, 2022, 2023), and often said to be the best of 1988, 1989 and 1990. A vintage characterised by heavy botrytis, resulting in six tries through the vineyard, the resulting wine is a deep amber hue with a hedonistic nose of marmalade, quince, and candied pear. The palate showcases the intensity of the vintage perfectly, with incredible acidity and freshness and a long, mouth-watering finish. This has been 'entering' its drinking window for the last decade, and is now in its prime, firing on all cylinders.
