Yquem's 1991 is a beautifully made, medium gold-coloured wine with a gorgeous nose of crème brûlée, roasted coffee, and sweet, honeyed pineapple and other assorted fruits. Full-bodied, unctuously-textured, and rich, but not yet revealing the complexity or enormous weight of such vintages as 1990, 1989, and 1988, this classic, outstanding Yquem will always have to live in the shadow of its three predecessors. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2040.
