A treat to taste the 86 d'Yquem. Treacle, spice, pineapple and apricot. It is rich and deep and deeply impressive.
Served with fois gras at Lafayette, NYC.

Always a treat but I wonder if this was a rupee or warmer year. A bit more fruit in your face than I’ve had in the past.

when in doubt, "'86 it" - 1986 Château d' #Yquem 🙏 beyond-the-imagination honey-and-hazelnut intensity, with so-sexy crème brûlée notes, kept fresh by a perfect undercurrent of acidity and a slight marmelade-like bitterness - a glass of impossible beauty #WineWednesday

A tad more elegant than the '88. Not as showy, but more poise and articulation.

Amazingly pure, focused and bright.

Nov 4th, 2016This bottle had been opened and in the refrigerator for a few days before I tasted this but it was still quite lively. Filled of peach, orange, and honey. Alcohol stood out a little bit. Incredible concentration and power with an impressive length. Even with extended air exposure this #chateaudyquem felt incredibly young, tight, and structured. #sauternes #bordeaux #noblerot #semillon #ctbucklinwine

Like the woman of my dreams: round, generous, voluptuous, complex, beautiful and sexy as hell. It's Anita Ekberg in la Dolce Vita, it's Christina Hendricks in mad men. Well you got it. Acidity gives this monster of a wine a delicate touch, an immortal length that is just phenomenal! I have said several times that Yquem is in my opinion, the best wine estate of the planet. I rest my case with this bottle. It's is truly my dream woman
