Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1990
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé. Château-bottled
In Christie's cartons
Levels: Eleven in neck, one bottom neck; one protruding cork
Wonderful. At a recent dinner, the 90 Yquem was dark in color, but on the nose no excessive caramel notes and plenty of ripe tropical fruit, butter, and botrytis. On the palate the wine was decadent and rich, with very good length, crisp, clean, fantastic. CC, at the Mount Sinai benefit, February 2010
