Cat, honey, it's beyond Port! These people are not kidding you! This is a wine to put down for years, really years. When you drink it, it's like Mediterranean sunlight concentrated in your glass. It's wonderfully sweet without being overly sweet.

You don't really want to mess around with cheeses with this one. Maybe an almond wafer.

Happy New Year, dear!

Yes exactly!!!!!!15 to 20 years from now!!!2015 at the earliest!!!

Although in searching around this morning, I cannot find any mention of any Yquem of a vintage after 1990...perhaps is was just released?

No matter, you have a diamond in the rough...

Treat her gently, and she will bless you in years to come with her smoothness and full body begging to savored, sipped and tasted :-)

Later

one drinks it at the end of a meal, sort of like Port...without desert, maybe with cheeses?

Well.... yes, maybe... not really.

Chateau d'Yquem, you drink it with.... Chateau d'Yquem, and with someone you enjoy his/her/their company.

If you are going to sin, do it with Almonds, and better yet, without guilt, and make sure you enjoy sinning, it is the only justification for such deed. (The sin) !!
