The sweet and dessert wine Château d'Yquem, vintage 1999 from the winery Château d'Yquem has been rated in 2022 by Robin Lee with 97 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the region Sauternes in France.
Red-gold colour, aroma of roasted chestnuts, autumn leaves and acorns, followed on the palate by intense and complex tarte tatin, baked custard, dark bitter honey, agave and star anise. Textural and almost grainy quality as it becomes dense with some age. Generous and intense, very long, opening up over time with spicy and complex notes of aniseed, Russian leather and the classic saffron note of Botrytis. RL
