88 Yquem

1988 Château d'Yquem;

Served at the 2010 Yquem Primeur tasting at the Grand Theatre in Bordeaux, golden with amber hue, apricots, caramel and heavy notes. Fresh acidity, but oxidized style that I feel is typical not only for Yquem in 88, but also Suduiraut and a few others, lacks freshness, a lot older feel to it now than the 86 as an example. 86
