  February 12, 2019 - Changes with every sniff. Complex aromatics of honey, apricot, marmalade and earth. There’s still flesh and the taste of Mirabelle plum. It is just drying out a tad on the back-end but is a cerebral, engaging wine that is a joy to drink.

  October 29, 2011 - Chateau d'Yquem Masterclass (Amber, Hong Kong): Nice botrytis nose. Bright amber. A marmalade nose but not much fruit on the palate. Not great balance - seemed a little acidic.

  April 2, 2011 - Recorked in 1991 still very youthful redish dark amber. Incredibly fresh fruit expression, strong presence of botrytis, incredible concentration but airy palate and endless finish.

  July 12, 2010 - Perfect level for age (very top shoulder), amber, lively colour, fresh, pungent an deep bouquet like
  sercial madeira (but not maderized). The taste was balanced with good acidity and an remaining sweetness.
  An extraordinary experience; as a sauternes, I maybe had to stop with 89 points, but as a complex wine
  with so much purity and balance I give 91 points. A very special Yquem that was perfect with fresh
  goat cheese and triple crème cheese. Thanks to Gert Jan and Fien who brought this bottle.
  The only thing I could do, was to serve them the '26 La Gaffelière Naudes.

  December 26, 2007 - This one had a darker colour than the 1925. a very delicate nose of crème brulee. Not very expressive, but still attractive. This wine is clearly fatter than the 1925 and there is some exciting combination of acidity and sweetness. Almonds, honey, nougat. Nice bitter finish.
  
  Sandrine told that the harvest took place over 2 months in 1936
