Good as gold

Article Abstract:

Wine buyers would do well to buy Sauternes from three vintage years: 1990, 1989 and 1988. The vintages topped other wines in blind tastings of 140 sweet wines from France's Sauterne and Barsac regions. Best buys are the wines produced by Chateau d'Yquem and Chateau Climens.
