Yquem 1983

The 1983 Yquem is magnificent, a towering expression from one of the decade's finest vintages. Dense marmalade and quince aromatics meld with burnt toffee and orange rind in a powerfully concentrated bouquet. The palate shows remarkable intensity, with waves of Manuka honey, crème brûlée and tinned apricot building to a Germanic-tinged finish that fans out gloriously. Pure divinity in a glass.
