The 1988 Chateau dYquem has long been an insiders favorite over the 1989 and 1990, although at the end of the day, all three form a brilliant triumvirate at the end of the decade. Tasted from a half bottle, it shone with a slightly burnished amber hue. The bouquet is just as I have encountered with previous bottles with scents of marmalade, mandarin, burnt honey and citrus fruit, perhaps a little waxier and resinous than I recall. The palate is medium-bodied with impressive weight, viscous as you would expect, though not as flamboyant as the 1989 or as unctuous as the 1990. It is beautifully balanced with notes of apricot, white chocolate and orange peel towards the harmonious and tensile finish. You can see this cruising along for two or three decades and maybe it will turn more Barsac-like in style? Time will tell - a glorious Yquem however you look at it. Tasted May 2016.

頂点に君臨する偉大な貴腐ワイン
シャトー ディケム
Chateau dYquem
シャトー・ディケムは、世界で最も有名な甘口ワインであり、間違いなく最高級のワインです。完全に貴腐化した果実のみが収穫され、収量は非常に少なく、1本のブドウの木からはグラス1杯分のワインしか生産されません。 驚くほどの複雑さ、豊かさ、エキゾチックな風味があり、50年以上の熟成の可能性を持つグレートヴィンテージも存在します。
粘土、砂礫、石灰岩の交じる複雑な土壌、貴腐菌を生むシロン川からの湿度、地下に張り巡らした排水システムなどの恵まれた自然環境に加え、一切の妥協を許さない入念な収穫がシャトー・ディケムの品質を支えています。150人もの摘み手が、完全に熟した最良のブドウのみを厳選して収穫を行うことで、非常に高い熟成ポテンシャルを持った、最高品質のワインを生み出し続けています。
