An extraordinary effort in this powerful, blockbuster vintage, Yquem’s 1990 is the richest of the fabulous trilogy of superb sweet wine vintages in Bordeaux - 1988, 1989, 1990. This wine also possesses more elegance and finesse than many 1990s, at least at this stage of their development. The wine’s medium gold color is accompanied by an exceptionally sweet nose of honeyed tropical fruits, peaches, and apricots. High quality, subtle read more...

(magnum) Light youthful gold. Peachy smell redolent of botrytis. Also a hint of fine polished wood on the nose. Very long, firm, sleek, confident. Big and rich. 20 and a long long way to go.

Rating: 94(+?) - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 79, July/August 1998 Full-blown aromas of caramel, toffee, honey, white chocolate and damp earth; slightly Tokaj-like. Hugely concentrated and layered in the mouth; extraordinary sweetness cut by harmonious acidity. As with the best vintages of Yquem, the finish goes on for a minute or more. Stains, and stuns, the palate. A huge wine, surprisingly extravagant on the nose (earlier bottles have been far more restrained) but completely unevolved and a bit musclebound on the palate. May ultimately merit a higher score.
