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 1988 is a captivating wine that may well in time prove to be greater, or at least equal, to the remarkable 1986. It is incredibly rich, sumptuously textured and concentrated, offering impressively deep layers of apricot, pineapple, citrus marmalade, dried honey, spices and crushed stone minerality.
