Note di degustazione
The 1993 Yquem is another vintage from a period where even this Sauternes was compromised by malevolent growing seasons, specifically, inclement conditions come harvest after rain fell from September 9 to October 15. Given the uneven quality of fruit, some parcels saw 90% deselected between picking from October 18 to November 4. Nevertheless, despite this effort, there is an ineluctable flatness on the nose, a distinct lack of vigour, even compared to the following vintage. The palate is marginally better, with tangy marmalade on the entry and fresh, Aszú-like fruit, but it feels short and perfunctory on the finish. 105 g/l residual sugar. Tasted at the château.

One of the weakest Yquems I have ever encountered. (There was no previous note in our database.) Sweet and powdery-textured then leads to rather obvious acidity. Big but with some hint of grey rot on the nose. But there is certainly density. (JR)

Indiscusso miglior vino dolce al mondo, Château d'Yquem è l'unica tenuta Premier Cru Supérieur di Sauternes, classificata nel 1855. Con una lunga storia che risale al Medioevo, lo château è strettamente legato a quella della famiglia Lur-Saluces, che ne è coinvolta ancora oggi.
