BUYeR’S PReMiUMBuyers shall pay to Webb’s a buyer’s premium of 15% of the hammer price plus g.s.t on the premium.

The sale is subject to the Conditions of Business printed elsewhere in this catalogue.

CondiTion of wineGoods are described as accurately as can be ascertained by Webb’s at the time, however Buyers of older wine must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullage and the condition of corks and labels. Webb’s has made every effort to describe any bottle that is not in excellent condition. Each Lot is sold by the Seller with all faults and defects (if any) and with all errors of description and shall be at the Buyer’s risk on the fall of the hammer and neither Webb’s nor the Seller shall be accountable for any deficiency, damage or loss which may arise thereafter.

BiddingAll bids and price estimates are per bottle (excepting sets), not per lot. For example if you make a bid of $10 per bottle on a lot containing 12 bottles you are making a total bid of $120. All prices are in New Zealand dollars. Successful bids attract a 15% Buyer’s Premium plus GST (only on the BP). Bidding is per bottle and you must take the entire lot on offer unless the auctioneer states otherwise.All wines are checked prior to consignment.

Phone bidding is by prior arrangement with minimum bid of $500 NZD. Payment is Cash, Bank Cheque, EFTPOS or Money Transfer.

online Bidding

We now offer an online bidding service which is available from at least one week prior to the sale date and closes midday on the day of the sale.

Note: We accept Visa and MasterCard for all wine purchases in this auction. AMEX is also accepted, however at an increased buyers premium of 16.5% Payment must be cleared prior to collection of wine and is due at the end of the week of the sale, at the

latest. This includes all buyers either Absentee Bidders or those present on the night. Please fill out your Absentee Bidding Form carefully to ensure it is correct.

KeYRatings Robert M Parker Jr. (RP) and Wine Spectator (WS) rating out of 100, i.e., 95/100 is 95 points out of 100. Ullage The term that refers to the gap between the bottom of the cork and the fill level of the wine. All wines listed in this

catalogue have Ullage level of “Into Neck” or higher. If the level is lower it is stated in the catalogue. Top shoulder (TS) - A good level in any wine 20 years or older. Upper shoulder (US) - Indicates slight natural reduction through easing of the cork and evaporation through cork and capsule. Mid-shoulder (MS) - Indicates some weakening of the cork and therefore some risk. This is not unusual in wines over 50 years old and estimates will take this into account. Low shoulder (LS) - Indicates high risk and will attract low estimates.

Chateau D’Yquem is often described as the greatest sweet wine in the world. After centuries of family ownership, Yquem was finally sold in to Moet Hennessy in 1999. However, its former owner and director Alexandre de Lur-Saluce remains in charge. Yquem is located on the highest hill in Sauternes and enjoys the best growing conditions in the whole appellation. The 110-hectare vineyard is planted with 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. Only fully botrytized fruit is picked by the 150 highly skilled pickers and yields are so low that each vine produces only one glass of wine. Yquem is fermented in oak barrels (100% new) and is left in barriques to mature for up to 36 months. Intensely opulent when young, Yquem develops an extraordinary complexity and exotic richness when fully mature, with the best vintages lasting for over 50 years.

Chateau D’Yquem 1976The 1976 Yquem continues to go from strength to strength. Who can ignore the awesome bouquet of spices, honeyed fruit, pineapples, bananas, coconuts, and overripe melons? This full-bodied, viscous, luscious wine has been absolutely delicious since bottling, given its relatively low acidity and precocious personality. It is one of the few true great vintages of Yquem that can actually be drunk with tremendous pleasure at such a young age. Eighty percent of the harvest made it into the final wine. Anticipated maturity: Now-2025. Last tasted, 12/90. 96/100 RP

Chateau D’Yquem 1983 The 1983 is among the most concentrated wines from this property over the last 20 years, with a staggering display of extract and a mind-boggling amount of glycerin. The vintage commenced early for Yquem, beginning on September 29 and finishing on November 18. Most observers feel the 1983 will mature more slowly than the 1986, and will last for almost 100 years. Given Yquem’s unbelievable aging potential, such comments do not seem far fetched. At present, the 1983 is enormous, with huge, honeyed, pineapple, coconut, and caramel flavors, massive extract, and an unctuous quality barely framed by acidity and new oak. I do not feel the wine has changed since bottling, and I would not want to start drinking it for at least another 10-15 years. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2050. Last tasted, 12/90. 96/100 RP Chateau D’Yquem 1986 With greater evidence of botrytis than the colossal 1983, but less power and alcohol, the 1986 d’Yquem tastes reminiscent of the 1975, only more precocious. Several highly respected Bordeaux negociants who are d’Yquem enthusiasts had claimed the 1986 d’Yquem was the greatest wine produced at the property since the legendary 1937. However, after the release of the 1988 they concluded that the 1988 surpassed even the 1986. The 1986’s enthralling bouquet of pineapples, sauteed hazelnuts, vanillin, and ripe apricots is breathtaking. Compellingly concentrated, its breadth as well as depth of flavor seemingly know no limits. This full-bodied, powerful, yet impeccably elegant d’Yquem should provide memorable drinking for 40-55 more years. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2040. 98/100 RP Chateau D’Yquem 1988 The 1988 is a backward-styled Yquem, built along the lines of the extraordinary 1975. 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.99/100 RP Chateau D’Yquem 1989Chateau d’Yquem has, not unexpectedly, turned in a brilliant effort with their newly released 1989. It is a large-scaled, massively rich, unctuously-textured wine that should evolve effortlessly for a half century or more. It does not reveal the compelling finesse and complexity of the 1988 or 1986, but it is a far heavier, richer wine than either of those vintages. It is reminiscent of the 1976, with additional fat and glycerin. The wine is extremely alcoholic and rich, with a huge nose of smoky, honey-covered coconuts and overripe pineapples and apricots. As with most young vintages of Yquem, the wine’s structure is barely noticeable. These wines are so highly extracted and rich yet approachable young, it is difficult to believe they will last for 50 or more years. The 1989 is the richest Yquem made in the eighties, and it has an edge in complexity over the powerhouse 1983. It remains to be seen whether this wine will develop the extraordinary aromatic complexity possessed by the promising 1988 and 1986 Yquems. Last tasted 11/97 97/100 RP

Chateau D’Yquem 1990 1990: An extraordinary effort, Yquem’s 1990 is a rich and fabulously superb, sweet wine. This wine also possesses lots of elegance and finesse. The wine’s medium gold color is accompanied by an exceptionally sweet nose of honeyed tropical fruits, peaches, coconut, and apricots. High quality, subtle toasty oak is well-integrated. The wine is massive on the palate, with layers of intensely ripe botrytis-tinged, exceptionally sweet fruit. Surprisingly well-integrated acidity, and a seamless, full-bodied power and richness have created a wine of remarkable harmony and purity. Certainly it is one of the richest Yquems I have ever tasted, with 50-100 years of potential longevity. An awesome Yquem! Anticipated maturity: 2003-2050+.99/100 RP

Chateau D’Yquem 1991 Yquem’s 1991 is a beautifully made, medium gold-colored wine with a gorgeous nose of creme brulee, roasted coffee, and sweet, honeyed pineapple and other assorted fruits. Full-bodied, unctuously-textured, and rich, but not yet revealing a lot of complexity or enormous weight. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2040.91/100 RP

Chateau D’Yquem 1996 Compared with the flamboyant aromatics of the 1997, Yquem’s 1996 plays it closer to the vest, although there is a lot going on. Light gold with a tight but promising nose of roasted hazelnuts intermixed with creme brulee, vanilla beans, honey, orange marmalade, and peaches, this medium to full-bodied offering reveals loads of power in its restrained, measured personality. There is admirable acidity, weight, texture, and purity in this impeccably made Yquem. However, patience will be a virtue. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2060.95/100 RP

Chateau D’Yquem 1997 A sensational Yquem, 1997 may be this estate’s finest effort since 1990 (although I would not discount the 1996 turning out to be nearly as good). The 1997’s light gold color is accompanied a gorgeous perfume of caramel, honeysuckle, peach, apricot, and smoky wood. Full-bodied and unctuously-textured, with good underlying acidity as well as loads of sweetness and glycerin, it looks to be a great vintage for this renowned Sauternes estate. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2055.96/100 RP D’Yquem 1998 91/100 Robert parker Chateau D’Yquem 1999 92/100 Robert Parker Chateau D’Yquem 2001 There are 10,000 cases of this perfect sweet white Bordeaux. The 2001 Yquem reveals a hint of green in its light gold color. While somewhat reticent aromatically, with airing, it offers up honeyed tropical fruit, orange marmalade, pineapple, sweet creme brulee, and buttered nut-like scents. In the mouth, it is full-bodied with gorgeously refreshing acidity as well as massive concentration and unctuosity. Everything is uplifted and given laser-like focus by refreshing acidity. This large-scaled, youthful Yquem appears set to take its place among the most legendary vintages of the past, and will age effortlessly for 75+ years. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2100+.100/100 RP

Chateau D’Yquem 2002 Beautiful apple, vanilla and honey aromas, with just the right amount of new wood. Full-bodied, medium sweet, with lots of pretty pineapple and honey. Long and refined. A beautifully silky and balanced Sauternes. Lots of intensity and well-knit. Unrivaled in this vintage. Best after 2009.96/100 WS Chateau D’Yquem 2003 Subtle and racy, with lemon rind, vanilla cream and dried pineapple. Very spicy and intense. Full-bodied, with great length and flavor. Electrified yet refined, with medium sweetness and a wonderful finish. I love the class of this, and the length. Has afterburners. Best after 2010.98/100 WS Chateau D’Yquem 200595-98/100 Robert Parker
