The Story

The pleasure derived from tasting Yquem is difficult to describe.

It offers a myriad of well-balanced, complex flavours that generate even more harmonies over time. The impression that remains is reminiscent of a quote from Frédéric Dard "the silence that follows a piece by Mozart, in which the listener remains suffused with the music". This reflects the fact that Château d'Yquem stays on the palate for a remarkable long time, providing a u...

Wine Information

1982 versus 1990 Bordeaux

When you receive an invitation to a comparative tasting of all Premier Crus from the two great vintages of 1982 and 1990, you drop everything and clear your diary. 1982 and 1990 represent the beginning and end of perhaps the greatest era in the history of Bordeaux. During these nine years there were only two vintages that could be seen as disappointments: 1984 and 1987. It could rightly be stated that the period fr...

Vuosikerta 1982

1982 by James Suckling

The 1982 vintage in Bordeaux changed the world of wine and my life. It was the first vintage I tasted from barrel as a young wine writer working for the American magazine The Wine Spectator, and I was amazed at how magnificent the quality of a young red could be in barrel.

I remember the first barrel samples I tasted in the summer of 1983 at Château Prieuré-Lichine with the late wine author and winemaker Alexis Lic...

1982 was a great vintage for red Bordeaux, but not so much for white. I am not sure I believe that sentiment anymore after having the 1982 d’Yquem. There was more mint here, ‘similar’ to the 1983 per the lady on my right. It had a smoky nose with some exotic spice. There were lots of wild greens, and then it hit me – mint jelly! The palate had it, too, and it finished well. This is an undervalued and underappreciated Yquem that put on a good show, stealing it from the ’83 (95).

A beautiful, dark gold hue is the first thing you notice. The orange marmalade, apricot, honey. creme brulee, pineapple and white peach nose, shows a bit more citrus than tropical fruits normally found in Yquem. The finish is there, but the problem is, it's also gone before you know it. It lacks the lingering quality and freshness of the top vintages. Still, this is a nice wine. It's just not a great Yquem.

Light golden. On the nose, it showed intense aroma of acacia flower with well-defined noble rot, apple and apricot. This splendid wine was well packed with apricots and peaches on the palate, harmonious and with delightful aftertaste. To be put down in the cellar for additional 15 years.
