Expert Review
Wine Spectator
Super-intense and full-throttled, elegant and stylish. Dark amber in colour and rich in complexity, this '83 coats your mouth with butterscotch, dried apricot, fig and spice flavours. Made to age for decades. 98 points, Wine Spectator.

Robert Parker
The 1983 ranks among the most concentrated wines from this property over the last 25 years, with a staggering display of extract and a mind-boggling amount of glycerine. The vintage commenced early for Yquem, beginning on September 29 and finishing on November 18. The 1983 is enormous, with huge, honeyed, pineapple, coconut, and caramel flavours, massive extract, and an unctuous quality barely framed by acidity and new oak. The wine has changed little since bottling. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2050. 96 points, Wine Advocate (1993).

...the sheer quality shone through... marvellous. Rich and reverberant with considerable but not excessive sweetness...

The ’83 Yquem retains that Barsac-like bouquet with hints of barley sugar, quince, honey and a touch of marmalade. It has very fine definition and a greater sense of exuberance than hitherto encountered. The palate is very intense, superb vibrant acidity, great sense of tension with honey, marmalade, creme-brulee and apricots. 94 points, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate.
