Description

"Good notes through the 1980s,a slight but noticeable deepening of colour,lovely classic honeyed,barley-sugar bouquet,quite assertive,somehow managing to be plump as well as lean.More recently overpowering and caramelly after tasting a string of Lafaurie-Peyragueys (1994)".
"Most recently,noting its surprising deep orange amber colour:caramalised barley-sugar bouquet,rich flavour.Perfect with the terrine of foie gras at Hal Lewis' "Mr Gourmet" Investiture dinner".
(Peabody Hotel,Memphis,September 1999).****.

Michael Broadbent. (Michael Broadbent's Vintage Wine).


"Alarmingly dark brown.Looked like liquid brown sugar in the glass.Initially the wine was firmly closed on the nose,so I let it rest for a minute.Gradually the bouquet opened up on notes of raisins and orange peel.I don't really know what I was expecting from this wine,but I must say I was shocked to learn how concentrated,intense,perfectly alive,and dizzying complex this wine was.With style and grace not really at the forefront,this wine was a powerhouse of intense flavors of raisins and prunes,mixed in the brown sugar.Yet,this wine was not diluted marmalade,it was structured and firm at the skeleton and perfectly mature for drinking with crème brulee.Wonderful".
(97 Points).

Joe Belmaati. (For Winemega.com A vertical tasting of 66 vintages of Chateau D'Yquem...1847-2000 in April 2005,Copenhagen).
The 1966 bottle was summarized as being in the "awesome" category...the same category that the legendary 1990 was in!


"Pale mahogany.It showed a very intense nose of brown sugar and candied apricots and aristocratic noble rot.There was an intense taste of toffee,big concentration,formidable structure and length and quite "fat" texture.We enjoyed a simply stunning wine,which will provide pleasure in many,many years to come".
(96 Points).

I.Litwar. (Tasted at the same historic Copenhagen tasting event as above in April 2005).
