Château d'Yquem(1998)
A year of greatly cotrasting wet and dry periods.
The blending of two distinct types of grapes those picked in September and those in October gives this vintage a youthful charm rather than a showy opulence thanks to its roundness and elegance.

- Un vin, tout simplement, un vin incroyable, tout en douceur, en caractère, en ensemble. Un moment magique que je ne suis pas près d'oublier.

- The light gold color is accompanied a gorgeous perfume of caramel, honeysuckle, peach, apricot, and smoky wood. Full-bodied and unctuously-textured, with good underlying acidity as well as loads of sweetness and glycerin, it looks to be a great vintage for this renowned Sauternes estate. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2055. Note: Yquem spends 42 months in 100% new oak. No cask tasting is permitted, and the wine is not released until 5 years after the vintage. -Wine Advocate
