Château d'Yquem 1985 - magnum (1.5 l)

Tasting notes

"The 1985 Yquem is a very powerful, rich, exceptionally concentrated wine. Yet because of the lack of botrytis in the vineyards during this hot, dry vintage, the wine does not have the complexity so frequently encountered. Nevertheless, this massive, unctuous, light golden-colored Yquem makes quite a mouthful of wine given the honeyed flavors."

In certain years, Château d'Yquem produces a small amount of dry white wine composed of 50 % Sauvignon and 50 % Sémillion: Y, whose bouquet and power make it stand out among the white wines of Bordeaux.
