Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1986
2 dozen half-bottles per lot
CHÂTEAU D'YQUEM The wines of Château d'Yquem are legendary in the world of Fine Wine. This historic property sits on top of a small hill, with commanding views over its neighbouring Sauternes Châteaux, surrounded by its immaculate and well-tended vines that are famous for bearing the grapes that make this world renowned dessert wine. The history of the buildings at d'Yquem dates back to the 12th Century and the estate itself, established in the 16th Century. Classified in 1855 as Premier Grand Cru Class the reputation and quality of the wines were at that time already widely known and indeed, d'Yquem wines were considered as superior to the other First Growths of the Médoc that were recognised in the same Classification. The most illustrious and successful period of ownership was under the Lur-Saluces Family from 1785-1997 and since that date the property has been owned a by the LVMH group. Because of its trademark richness and opulence, the wines of Château d'Yquem occupy a unique place in the history and appreciation of Fine Wine. The greatest vintages from the 19th and early 20th Centuries, if well cellared, can still offer glorious tasting experiences now in the 21st Century, with the more modern classics from the latter half of the last Century to the present day, still able to be kept for many, many decades. The methods of production have always been strictly controlled and monitored and because of this rigorous selection, it is said that each vine at d'Yquem only produces one small glass of the golden nectar that is without doubt, the most celebrated sweet wine in the world. Château d'Yquem--Vintage 1986 Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé Levels: twenty-two bottom neck or better, two top shoulder; six signs of old seepage In original wooden case "The most recent bottle of '86 Yquem demonstrated anew the classic nature of this vintage of the preeminent Sauternes. The wine at almost 25 is showing a lovely, intense botrytis character on the nose along with an expressive, tangy exotic character to the fruit and a hint of ginger and spice, yet the wine is not overly developed. On the palate the wine is certainly sweet but not to excess - everything here is stylish and very balanced. A very complex wine - amazing."
