May 4, 2024 - Deep and complex nose with apricots, honey, and orange as the key components. Impeccably balanced palate with good acidity, only moderate sweetness, more orange and some lemon flavors, apricot, hay, honey, and caramel. Very long finish. A fantastic experience! Surprisingly youthful and elegant, it feels like the wine needs another couple of decades to show its best. Pure class.

May 4, 2024 - Dinner with the wine group (Los Gatos): Burnished orange, lighter than my previous half bottle of 1967; aromatic, orange, caramel, saffron, spice; palate is full bodied, youthful, still some residual sweetness, some orange marmalade fruit, minerality, some spice; long finish. This is far more youthful than my half-bottle of this a few years ago, and this tastes like it could still evolve for two decades or longer. This is a phenomenal Sauternes, but it needs more age (decades) to reach the peak of the last half bottle I opened. 96++

February 4, 2024 - More intense and spicier than the 1975 on the side, despite both perfect vintages. Caramel, toffee, tropical fruit, peppercorn, mixed spice, nutty, striking acidity and volume. 96

January 27, 2024 - Whole Lotta Lafite; 1/26/2024-1/27/2024 (Wine Watch, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida): The bottle looked great including the color through the glass. But this was a very weak example. Smells too much like acetone. Only moderate viscosity and not much botrytis either. While it was very sweet, the acidity was much too high so the balance was lacking.

December 7, 2023 - White Alba truffle dinner at Park Place: Always a treat to drink a d’Yquem. This one was excellent. Caramel, brown sugar, spice. I love the balance of sweetness and acidity. A real treat.

9/28/2003 (link) 99 points(Château d'Yquem) From half bottles - lovely peach, amber gold color. The nose was the beautiful apricot one expects, with hints of hazelnut. From these small bottles, the wine was drinking beautifully now; rich, concentrated and unctuous apricot and nutty ambrosia, with a super long finish.
