Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
The 1981 is certainly an outstanding Yquem, but it will not be considered one of this property's greatest efforts. Light golden, with a moderately intense bouquet of spicy, vanillin oak, fresh melons, and tropical fruit, this full-bodied Yquem has average acidity and a plump, viscous, somewhat precocious feel on the palate. Remarkably long and clean in the finish, it will develop relatively rapidly. Anticipated maturity: Now-2015. Last tasted, 3/87. Score: 90 Robert Parker, 'Bordeaux' 3rd Ed. Maturity: 1987-2015 01 January 1998 |
