Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend

Paul Costigan
9.1

1990: Corked, unfortunately. My mom had the best line, "It sure tastes better than it smells!" I recall what it was like on release, hard candy sweetness with a surprisingly light framework, particularly compared to both the '88 & '89 on release, and the crazy depth of the'90 Ch. Filholt Creme de tete, which was massively concentrated. This bottle still had oomph, yet wasn't all there. — 11 years ago

Wow. Delicious. Much richer and new world in style than the 88 which was tasted in conjunction. — 12 years ago

Krug

Brut Champagne Blend 1985

Beautiful! Quite different than the '88 and '89. Not as heavy and unctuous. Very light, great acidity with the perfect amount of sweetness. Had en magnum. — 13 years ago

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

La Tâche Pinot Noir 1988

Jason Heller
9.3

Stupidly cheap on the list here. '88 rustic tannins, but with air a kaleidoscope of flavor and texture. — 11 years ago
