Sauternes, First Great Growth

"The favorite sweet wine of millionaires- Chateau d'Yquem has - not unexpectedly- turned in a brilliant effort with their ... 1989. It is a large-scaled-massively rich- unctuously-textured wine that should evolve effortlessly for a half century or more. It does not reveal the compelling finesse and complexity of the 1988 or 1986- but it is a far heavier- richer wine than either of those vintages. It is reminiscent of the 1976- with additional fat and glycerin. The wine is extremely alcoholic and rich-with a huge nose of smoky- honey-covered coconuts and overripe pineapples and apricots...." - 97 Points, Robert Parker
