  September 7, 2021 - Offering a far stronger showing than the last bottle of 37 Yquem, this example displays much more complexity. This bottle offers what is arguably the essence of any great sweet wine - superb tension, both between sweetness and acid as well as between tertiary flavors and freshness. With a nose full of rough cut marmalade, citrus, brioche, mushroom, and almond, it’s hard to put the glass down.

  August 10, 2021 - I really wanted to love this - particularly after finding out what it was - but I didn’t find much complexity here. This does offer treacle, apricot, and a slightly brûléed note which is quite pleasant, transitioning to a fine, lingering sweetness on the finish.

  December 28, 2020 - The nose mirrors the dark amber color of this particular bottle, with an intense nose of rough-cut marmalade, creme brulee crust, toffee, ginger snap, and sultana. Zippy acidity and lush textures make this a pleasure to drink.

  June 23, 2019 - SLDS at Quay: Caramel coloured. Coffee, earth, creme brulee, apricot, coconut and mandarin on the nose. The palate shows off toffee sweetness, but maintains its drive beautifully. Truly excellent wine with many years left based on this bottle.

  May 12, 2018 - Quelle chance de pouvoir goûter à ce vin. Le niveau est encore beau et la couleur est devenue ambrée. Le bouchon était encore en bonne forme et fut relativement facile à enlever. Le nez est sublime et nous permet de nous transcender dans un autre monde tant il est expressif. Des notes de marmelade, de caramel, de crème brûlée, de coconut. Il est encore très vivant et a beaucoup de matière. Cette bouteille aurait facilement pu se rendre jusqu’à son 100ième anniversaire. Un grand moment.
