Critics Ratings
"Rich and tense and bottomed out. Thick and dense." - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 16+/20 (Mar 2014)
"The 2004 Yquem is almost identical to the bottle that I tasted at the château four years ago. It has a generous bouquet; the oak a tad more subsumed since my last encounter, with generous lemon curd, dried honey, mango and Mirabelle aromas billowing from the glass. It is a well balanced and quite weighty Yquem with slightly lower acidity than its peers; viscous in texture with a tropical tinged finish that I maintain just lacks the tension and energy of a Yquem from the top-drawer." - Neal Martin, Vinous, 93/100 (Aug 2018)
