Y'Quem is a sweet Bordeaux from the Sauternes region. It is picked grape by grape in many passes. Each vine averages around one glass of wine. If any bordeaux is still drinkable after a couple hundred years, this would be the most likely candidate. It is not as sweet as the rarest form of Tokay. The vineyards are in foggy low lying areas. Nobel rot grows on the grapes extracting the water without the sugar. It is the same fungus that produces Troken Beren Auslese. I own one bottle which I paid nearly two hundred dollars for. It is a 1983 which Parker ssays I should drink by 2035. He says he has enjoyed Y'Quem as old as 1921. Broadbent says a 1747 was oxidized in 1987. He claims to have enjoyed a 1784 (bottled in 1788) in 1985.
