December 5, 2023 - Good vintages of Yquem (Chicago, IL): A huge stylistic difference between this and the 2011 alongside -- whereas the 2011 was very much fruit-driven, this was far more botrytis driven, showing plenty of the typical marmalade and bitter orange that you would expect. A good analogue here is the 1983. This is a relatively opulent edition for the post Lur-Saluces era, and it's definitely one that really appeals to my taste and desire for that older, high-oak style. Excellent, and I am very much curious to see where this goes with time.

December 1, 2023 - Hey now, what a beauty!! This is a sumptuous Y'quem.
Complex and then some... what an orchestra of flavors! Peach, apricot, orange, burnt orange, orange marmalade, almond, creme brulee, Grand Marnier (!!!!), grapefruit, fresh acidity and then repeat all. Went on and on.
Still young and will only get better but still delivers great pleasure today.

August 12, 2023 - Tasted with Jim Cahill and the ladies at the Clarity restaurant in Vienna:
Exquisite with orange rind, bitter almonds and dried apricots,
Nicely complex, still young.
But, from memory, not better than the 1981 Ch. Laufaurie Peyraguey pulled from my cellar and tasted about a month ago a5 Roberto's...2 people found this helpful Comment -

May 30, 2023 - Deep orange golden colored, medium to full bodied, complex, rich unctuous and elegantly smooth with notes of dried pineapple, candied honey mango and apricot, hints of grapefruit and lemon on a tongue coating finish.
