Community Tasting Notes (12) Median Score: 96 points

  • Bought 2 Bottles at Auction and opened with some trepidation as they had been stored in a damp cellar. The Honeyed notes, gave way to a burnt Basque Cheesecake/Creme Brûlée richness, tasted again after 6 hours and apricot jam was present. One bottle to go and will save it for 5/10 years

  • My first, and sadly, probably my last time tasting this beautiful, copper/amber colored, historical gem, the wine opened with creme brulee, marshmallow, caramel, butterscotch, candied orange, and mango, completed by Indian spices in the perfume. The patina of age was there on the palate, providing an exotic, soft, silky, sweet mouthful of caramel-coated orange, tangerine, and candied mango with an accent of spice and cocoa. Tasting younger than its almost 80 years of age, but without the same raciness and concentration found in years with less heat, like 1945, it was still a thrill and a treat to taste. Drink from 2023-2037.

  • Quite ripe and very unctuous with rich flavors of brown sugar, dark apricots and smoky minerals. Really deep and intense with great complexity and a very round, oily texture. A full-bodied Yquem on the richer, sweeter side that still has years to go. 96+

  • The 1947 Chateau d’Yquem came out of the cellar of Peter and Margaret Lehmann and was a beauty. It was complex with aromas of truffled honey, caramel and crème brulee. It was full and luscious in the mouth with explosive power and a pleasant strand of vanilla weaving through the flavours. Length of flavour was outstanding.
