It remains one of the world's greatest sweet wines and is capable of continuing to evolve for many more years, making it a true collector's treasure and an unforgettable fine wine experience.

With greater evidence of botrytis than the colossal 1983, but less power and alcohol, the 1986 d'Yquem tastes reminiscent of the 1975, only more precocious. Several highly respected Bordeaux negociants who are d'Yquem enthusiasts had claimed the 1986 d'Yquem was the greatest wine produced at the property since the legendary 1937. However, after the release of the 1988 they concluded that the 1988 surpassed even the 1986. The 1986's enthralling bouquet of pineapples, sauteed hazelnuts, vanillin, and ripe apricots is breathtaking. Compellingly concentrated, its breadth as well as depth of flavor seemingly know no limits. This full-bodied, powerful, yet impeccably elegant d'Yquem should provide memorable drinking for 40-55 more years.

เนื้อหาสินค้า

Château d’Yquem is universally regarded as the world's greatest sweet wine estate and the only property classified as Premier Cru Supérieur in the historic 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Every bottle represents meticulous vineyard selection, multiple passes through the vineyard, and an uncompromising pursuit of perfection.

The 1986 vintage is a classic mature expression of Château d'Yquem. Produced from hand-selected botrytised grapes, the wine has benefited from decades of bottle aging, evolving from youthful tropical fruit into an extraordinary tapestry of dried fruits, honey, spice, beeswax, and roasted nuts.

The blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc perfectly balances richness with freshness. Noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) concentrates the fruit, while the naturally high acidity ensures remarkable elegance and longevity. After nearly four decades, the wine continues to demonstrate why Château d'Yquem is considered one of the greatest collectible wines ever produced.
