Description

The 1975 may turn out to be the greatest of the modern-day Yquems. When fully mature in another 25-30 years, it may rival the extraordinary 1937 and 1921. This wine continues to evolve at a stubbornly slow pace. It is far more backward than recent vintages such as 1983 and 1986. Nevertheless, it is awesomely concentrated, has perfect balance, and displays the telltale Yquem aromas of vanillin oak, tropical fruit, pineapples, honeyed peaches, and grilled almonds. There is exceptionally crisp acidity that pulls all of the massive extract into precise focus. This is a wine of astonishing power and finesse, with a finish that must be tasted to be believed. It is a monumental effort that may well justify a perfect score in another decade. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2060. Last tasted, 1/91. 99pts

A limpid, amber colour. Luscious aromas of quince, marmalade, figs and orange blossom on the nose whilst the palate is rich with honeyed fruits and racy acidity and a touch of bitter lemon towards the finish. It seems to be cruising along its plateau of maturity that has no end in sight, not yet. Drink now-2040+ Tasted March 2008. 97pts

Tasted at Robertson's vertical tasting, this remains one of the great Yquem's of that decade. A lucid golden/amber colour. The nose is very intense with orange blossom, minerals, figs and reminding me a little of a top Tokaji 6 Puttonyos. A scent of quince develops in the glass after ten minutes. The palate is powerful with great acidity, great tension and poise, almost racy in personality. Rich honeyed fruits, clamming in a little towards the finish. Just a sublime Yquem that looks as if it will remain on its heavenly plateau for many years. Drink now-2030+. Tasted November 2006. 98pts
