Merchant's description
Château d`Yquem 1989 is a mature sweet wine from the Sauternes appellation. The 1989 vintage was marked by high temperatures and favourable conditions for botrytis cinerea, leading to exceptional ripeness in the Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. This half-bottle is marked by concentrated flavours and a deep amber hue, revealing notes of dried fruits, honey and saffron spice.
