Community Tasting Note

95 Points
Thursday, December 27, 2018 - It isn’t the 1967, but I found the muted sweetness (RELATIVE TO OTHER YQUEM) charming.
Candied orange peel, marzipan, whiffs of cinnamon petrol and brioche (honeydough), as well as I forget, pardon, notes elsewhere. Furniture polish buttered cedar like... DELICIOUS Wine.
As good was the sip left in the bottom of a glass the next afternoon, that I immediately found a case of halfies.
If you like the less sweet Chateau Y: try the 2000.
It’s proximity to the 2001, which I’ve owned and sold twice, as the hype eats the earth, keeps this underrated. (I apologize to those among the “Yquemerie” to whom this knowledge is old hat.)
94-95pts.
