  Nez de massepain et d'orange confite.
  En bouche, marmelade d'orange avec une très grande fraîcheur et une très belle longueur.
  À mon avis, peut encore se conserver en cave mais est très bon maintenant.
  Très étonnant pour un petit millésime !

  PR 1969 Extravaganza: Marmalade, lemon, red berries and spice. Delicious on the palate, sweet with plenty of acidity pushing the wine through and giving it freshness. Fantastic condition and lovely drinking.

  Ard & David’s 50th birthday dinner (Chez David, Amsterdam, NL.): Great colour, rich and lively yellow gold; lovely nose, orange zest and oak spice; delicately sweet, gentle bitters, spicy and resinous oak, firm bitters; long and drying finish.

  Colour was amber and gorgeous. Finish was not as long as other Yquems. Apricots, nectar, butterscotch came and went. Residual sugar was there of course.

  Coravined this a couple times back in Jan when the wife turned 50...now the cork comes out. Seems tired from what we tried in Jan? The fruit still has a nice sweetness of botrytis semillon...peach apricot tea, saffron threads, creme brule crust, honey butter, orange marmalade...aged dryness and mineral salinity...rich yet delicate...but the vibrant fresh citrus acidity was lacking...and more mothball mustiness and oxidized bitters were evident. Still pleasures to be had...but not the 97pt experience as before.
