Born of noble rot and meticulous hand harvesting in Sauternes, Chateau d'Yquem 1998 showcases extraordinary sweetness balanced by precise acidity. Intricate aromas of candied orange peel, dried apricot, acacia honey, saffron, and toasted brioche unfold on the nose. On the palate, its rich, oily texture carries layers of tropical fruit and subtle spices toward an endless, mineral-tinged finish.
