Sauternes in 1990.
The most opulent of the great modern trio of 1988, 1989 and 1990. High sugars, and wines that took twenty years to find their balance.
The half bottle is the format Yquem was meant for at table: one glass each for six, with the last of the cheese. The 1990 is one of the estate’s three perfect vintages of the decade.
Condition is described before anything travels: fill level, label, capsule and original case, bottle by bottle. If you have not bought an older bottle before, our note on fill levels explains what those words mean and what they are worth. The 1990 leaves storage once, insured and temperature-controlled, for your home, your cellar or your account at a bonded warehouse in Switzerland.
