"The 1985 d'Yquem is a powerful, rich, exceptionally concentrated wine." Robert Parker

Yquem is one of the world’s finest wine estates producing indisputably the world’s greatest sweet wines.

There is no rush to drink d’Yquem, but when you can resist the temptation no more we would recommend that you serve it alongside a foie gras or oyster starter, or with a fine blue cheese such as Roquefort (which has its own a.o.c.!). Several top international chefs have also partnered Yquem with sole and lobster dishes.

"The 1985 d'Yquem is a powerful, rich, exceptionally concentrated wine. Yet because of the lack of botrytis in the vineyards during this hot, dry vintage, the wine does not have the compelling complexity so frequently encountered in d'Yquem. Nevertheless, this massive, unctuous, light-golden-colored d'Yquem makes quite a mouthful of wine with its honeyed flavors." Robert Parker, Bordeaux (1998)
