1990 Chateau d'Yquem

[TheEngineer]

oh buy......about as close to perfection as it gets.... just behind the '89 and the still insanely young 2001.......

Perfect texture, smooth and impossibly light. lingers for a night. Only thing that held it back for me was the balance of the resiny note, but oh so minor, orange, honey, apricot, slightly exotic spices in perfect levels. super rich without being sugar and cloying, hyper elegant, is there such a thing?? Impossible to describe properly without having had it.... only thing I can compare the experience to is a 97 Harlan...I know....that won't make me a popular guy as that is a rather controversial wine. I'll drink both any day, any time anywhere that someone will buy it for me

This is SOOOOOO@#$!@%!@#% good!!
