Château d´Yquem vintage 1983 Double-Magnum
Sauternes, 1er Cru Supérieur
In perfect condition
Lying in a private cellar duty free in Paris, France
1 Double-Magnum (3 litres) in original wooden case
Tasting Note: “The 1983 ranks among the most concentrated
wines from this property over the last 20 years, with a staggering
display of extract and a mind-boggling amount of glycerin. The
vintage commenced early for d´Yquem, beginning on September
29th and finishing on November 18th. The 1983 is enormous,
with huge, honeyed, pineapple, coconut, and caramel flavors,
massive extract, and an unctuous quality barely framed by
acidity and new oak. I do not feel the wine has changed since
bottling, and I would not want to start drinking it for at least
another 10-15 years.” Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book (3)
November 1998
