Another lovely experience with the 1998 Yquem. It continues to develop slowly, with a really intense note of nectarine. Mango, pineapple, apricot, honey, ginger, and fine herbs are all found. It married incredibly well with a 12 month Comte and a salty Brie de Meaux. So good

Quelque peu déçu par la bouteille, une liqueur en deçà de mes attentes avec une matière en retrait en comparaison d'autres années, je pense notamment à 1996.

Thanksgiving Mondo Dinner 2023 (Atlanta, GA): Served non-blind. This was exactly what my palate needed at this point in the line-up. Served at 50 degrees and paired with a delicious terrine of Foie Gras on brioche toast with Apricot jam. Perfectly paired and served as a wonderful palate cleanser, which inspired me to go cellar diving. The Yquem was darker in color (caramel) than maybe it should be at this age. Nevertheless, delicious!

Quite dark color. Honey, cane sugar, polishing wax, orange bitterness, good acidity and a good length. The wine is quite mature.
