Château d'Yquem 1983 Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classéu. 1vts, 2ts, 2 labels slightly marked, 1 scuffed and slightly stained, capsules worn and corroded, 1 damaged around collar, corks depressedIn 2015, and from an Imperial, an amazing botrytis and grapefruit nose. Then the apricots and caramel come rolling in. Rich crème brûlée Yquem, with fresh, peachy acidity and a real youthful spring in its step, probably due to the large format. Ends on a juicy oranges note.
