"90th" Joint Birthday: Almond, caramel, apricot and pear on the nose. Duller in colour than the 71 Coutet Cuvee Madame but it still has depth and that classic Yquem spice throughout. Good but maybe a lesser bottle of this.

Still going strong at (almost) 50. Honey in color and taste. Relatively short length for Yquem, in my experience. Better after dinner than with first course foie gras, having benefitted from two hours of open bottle and a bit of warmth. Grateful to have experienced this wine from my birth year.

Rich, balanced, a great aged Yquem. Some points subtracted for short finish and lacking the complexity of some other vntages

Golden orange color.
Orange peel, beeswax, layered honey cookies.
Nice acidity.
It’s a little worse than 01 vintage.
