With a honeyed, smoky, orange\/coconut\/pineapple-scented nose, this powerful wine possesses full body, layers of highly concentrated, extracted flavors, considerable botrytis, and a sensational finish. (12\/1997)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e97 points The Wine Independent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMedium gold-amber in color, the 1988 d'Yquem waltzes out with graceful wafts of candied ginger, lemongrass, dried apricots, and creme caramel plus touches of fresh straw and crushed stones. The palate is racy, with a compelling grip to the texture and wonderfully savory\/sweet layers, finishing on a lingering citrus pip note. The residual sugar is 123 g\/l.

Orange pith, quince, wax resin, and mandarin blossom on the nose, yet there is more control and focus than in other warmer vintages. The palate is underpinned by a wonderful frisson of acidity that cuts a swathe through the viscous fruit with Clementine and touches of crème brûlée on the finish. It’s firing on all cylinders, and I envisage it remaining there for some time.

The flattering finish lets orange curd and flan details glide through. A touch shy on tension, but shows lovely range.
