Pale gold colored, the 1998 d'Yquem features a flamboyant, rock-star nose of allspice, candied ginger, honeycomb and crème brûlée with a core of preserved lemons, mandarin peel and musk perfume plus a waft of potpourri. Beautifully balanced in the mouth, with seamless freshness lifting the decadent sweetness (134.4 grams per liter of residual sugar), it culminates with fantastically persistent layers of exotic spices.

K&L Notes
In May 1999, James Suckling wrote in Wine Spectator: "Another source of excitement in 1998 are the white dessert-style wines of Sauternes and Barsac. Although the vintage in this regard is less consistent in quality than 1997--which is outstanding for sweet wines--these two areas made some stupendous late-harvest wines. Some may perhaps even equal the quality of wines from such legendary years as 1990 or 1983."
