Estimate
From one of the 20th century's celebrated vintages for Yquem, this bottle stands up to all the hype--unforgettable for its purity, elegance, harmony, its "total" everything. Powerful, yet it seems weightless on the palate,...
Just gorgeous. Still fresh with the most beautiful undertow of rich, complex sweetness.
...caramelly and crusty...actually magnificent
...slips sensuously out of the glass with a profound perfume of dried mandarin peel, allspice, praline, cinnamon toast and orange blossoms plus hints of gingerbread and accents of lemon butter. The palate is simply electric with citrus and spice-sparked energy, delivering youthfully vibrant notes with a tantalizing floral undercurrent. Superb freshness knit inseparably with the complex sweetness...
There is nothing subtle here, just all power. Baked fruit, marmalade and honey. The viscosity is phenomenal... A wine that totally coats the mouth and hasn't lost any of its luscious sweetness... The finish goes on, and on, and on!
...wonderful bouquet, entrancing, scents of dried honey, crème brûlée, caramelised pear, fresh figs and quince bursting from the glass with fabulous delineation...palate is lightly-spiced on the entry with tangy tangerine and marmalade notes, fig and quince, viscous and mouth-coating.
