Château d’Yquem Sauternes 1855 1er Cru Supérieur 1989

Saffron, tobacco leaf, cold ash, black tea, at this point the perception of sweetness decreases, and the gorgeous interplay of spice and bitterness increases, colour deepened to an orange rust, think bitter orange peel, kumquat, saffron, oyster shell, still fresh peach juice, the intensity of this is perfectly pitched, creme caramel, mango, mint leaf, so good.
