Tasting Notes

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 20 Jun 24
The 1998 d'Yquem is pale to medium straw-gold in color. A delicate perfume of lime leaves, dried pineapple, Marcona almonds, and wet pebbles drifts languidly from the glass, leading to hints of allspice and creme caramel. The palate is light on its feet, with savory undertones giving gravitas to the playful tropical fruit and citrus flavors, finishing on a lingering chalky note. The residual sugar is 134.4 g/l.

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jul 98
Pale gold. Knockout aromas of creme brulee, coconut, vanilla bean, honey and orange peel. Lush and seductively silky in the mouth; its creamy, seamless texture makes it seem deceptively accessible today but sound acid structure should keep it going for 20 years or more. Not hugely sweet or tropical but very complex and fine. Firm, hazelnutty finish offers great length, if not quite the grip of the '89.
