Description

Bottle as per photos.

I have had this bottle a good long while and there have been zero signs of any seepage.

Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition
Jan 1998 Robert M. Parker, Jr. 90 Drink: 1984 - 2025
Somewhat less evolved than the 1971, and for me always a shade less interesting and complex, the 1970 Yquem is a large-scaled, rich, full-bodied, fairly alcoholic Yquem with significant flavour interest as well as crisp acidity. Unlike the 1971, which is close to peak maturity, this wine has a long way to go and is impressive, but not yet revealing all of its potential. Anticipated maturity: Now-2025.

Michael Broadbent MW
A cask sample tasted in April 1971: pale, lemon tinged, though rich, a touch of bitterness in the finish.0However it rounded out in the mid to late 1970's with a ripe lanolin-*like nose, richness and balance. It deepened on colour in the 1980's, but despite its overall harmony it lacked botrytis. In 1990 I first used the expression 'four square'. A magnum in 1990 assertive but drying out at the end. A similar note a year later. Most recently, amber-gold, still fairly sweet, hefty, alcoholic, touch of caramel Last noted Sept 1990. ***
