Château d'Yquem - Sauternes 1988 (750ml) CannedCritical Acclaim 99 points Robert Parker, Wine Advocate The 1988 is a backward styled Yquem, built along the lines of the extraordinary 1975. With a honeyed, smoky, orange coconut pineapple scented nose, this powerful wine possesses full body, layers of highly concentrated, extracted flavors, considerable botrytis, and a sensational finish. (12 1997) 97 points The Wine Independent Medium gold amber in color, the 1988 d'Yquem waltzes out with graceful

the rather austere palate offers red cherry

With that mixture of winemaking pedigree and experience it comes as no surprise that Jean-Marc Boillot makes sensational wines

it offers a delightful burst of flavor with ripe citrus fruits and pink grapefruit

half of which are used for the second and third time

although this cuvée always shows slightly more elegance and freshness as well as obvious minerality
