1998 Château d'Yquem

95 POINTS: The 1998 d'Yquem is pale to medium straw-gold in color. A delicate perfume of lime leaves, dried pineapple, Marcona almonds, and wet pebbles drifts languidly from the glass, leading to hints of allspice and creme caramel. The palate is light on its feet, with savory undertones giving gravitas to the playful tropical fruit and citrus flavors, finishing on a lingering chalky note. The residual sugar is 134.4 g/l.
