Description

 

Château d'Yquem 1990

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé

Importer's details on back labels in Traditional Chinese


In 2025, this may now be at peak in bottle form, or on a plateau, with the enormous sweetness, rivalling that of 1929. Rich in texture, ultra peachy and treacly, this is an Yquem to wallow in. Large, and very large, formats of the 1990 have more freshness, but this is super-luscious. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

2018年品嚐,此酒也許已經達至巔峰狀態,非常甜美,不輸1929年份。口感濃郁,滿是桃味和蜜餞甜味,使人沈醉其中。大瓶和極大瓶裝的1990年份帶有更明顯的清新氣息,不過標準瓶裝則極為香甜。施慧娜(葡萄酒大師M.W.)

Provenance

Immersed in the vibrant world of hospitality and gastronomy from a young age, the collects or has cultivated a sophisticated palate, a deep appreciation for classic wines, and an unwavering commitment to quality. A successful entrepreneur and esteemed wine connoisseur, he is also renowned as a hotel and restaurant operator. His discerning taste shines through in this exceptional collects ion. 


This remarkable collects ion features some of the most exquisite Bordeaux Classified Growths and gems from legendary vintages such as Mouton Rothschild 1982, Latour 1982 and Petrus 1989. It also includes distinguished Champagnes from renowned houses such as Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1995 and Krug Clos du Mesnil 1990. Complementing these are wines from the iconic Domaine de la Romanée-Conti from 1991 and 1993. Offered in generous parcel quantities, this collects ion is a true celebration of elegance, tradition, and excellence.


Most of the collects ion has been acquired over the past three decades from UK and local wine merchants. Almost 100% of the wines were purchased more than 20 years ago. Vintage 1995 and onwards such as Mouton Rothschild and Comte de Champagne were mostly ordered and purchased on release in parcel quantities. The wines have been professionally stored in two professional, temperature-controlled cellars in Taipei since.
