  September 1, 2018 - Bien content de voir que cette bouteille d’Yquem est bien représentative de ce qu’Yquem doit être. Même si ce n’est pas un grand milléssime, nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir à le boire. Des saveurs de marmelade, de caramel et d’abricots ainsi qu’une belle longueur.

  October 21, 2017 - Nez acétone, vernis , abricot et carton/ champignons
  Bouche correcte, matière moyenne, et acétone dérange un peu, un drole d’arome en fond de bouche rappellant le
  Bouchon.
  Finale longue digne d’yquem
  Le vin est correcte mais pour moi ce n’est pas l’image yquem dont je suis habitué sauf pour la finale, probablement bouchonné très faiblement
  Pas de note mais entre 70-80 pts

  March 7, 2015 - Opened by Emilio. The darkest D'Yquem I have ever seen (coffee colored). High shoulder fill. Stored in a kitchen for 30+ years. Paired with a flan which Emilio's wife made. Surprisingly pretty nose. Notes of slightly burnt carmel with some raisins and dried apricot mixed in. Tasted tired and worn out but still very drinkable. 83 points.

  January 5, 2010 - VTS fill. Foil and cork in excellent condition. Clear deep golden honey color. Bottle opened two hours before serving; decanted 20 minutes before serving, as guided by sampling. Lovely notes of quince paste, apricot, honey, acacia, and spice, with some unobtrusive pine spirits in the background. Viscous, oily, unctuous on the palate. It was a mistake for two people to consume this 750 ml bottle as the only wine with a multi-course dinner: asiago cheese puffs, then green salad, then lobster risotto and lobster tail, then dessert of vanilla cake and creme brulee tart. The wine was simply too rich and fatiguing to be consumed in such quantity.
  
  I could not find much information about this vintage of Yquem. One well-written note in 2005 gave it 85 points. I liked this bottle quite a bit more than that.

  Caramel, marmalade and oranges with a great finish.
