The most mythical vintage of Bordeaux, among all! Already, in 1855, it was the only cru to be recognized as a premier cru classé supérieur, placing it above the red premiers crus classés.
« « The attack on the palate is a blend of freshness and vigor with a mid-palate of great nobility and uncommon density without ever rising to power. The finish is of great complexity with an uncommon persistence and an incomparable finesse thanks to an exquisitely fine botrytis.
Yquem 2018 is not a monster of power, far from it, but it will make history with its freshness, purity, very high density and especially its incredible length. Château d'Yquem 2018 will undeniably be of high guard, in a profile close to the grandissime 1988, with a bit less power, but with so much more purity, brilliance and length and even a form of carefree lightness. It clearly inaugurates with brilliance a new era where freshness, balance, density and finesse are its new descriptors. » »Rated 99/100 (Bernard Burtschy)
