The 1998 Château d'Yquem is showing absolutely beautiful today, it offers lovely, rich aromatics of orange marmalade, crème brûlée, pineapple and apricot . On the palate, it possesses a silky, viscous mouthfeel with a seamless texture before ending with a memorable, nearly minute long finish, which leads to flavors of golden raisin, pineapple, crème brûlée and tangerine marmalade. The '98 is a amazing today and still a has long future ahead. (Best 2015-2030) - September, 2015 (OB)
