Note di degustazione
The 1975 Yquem has long been the standout of the decade, and whilst a few years ago it was neck-and-neck with the 1976, now it seems to be pulling ahead. This has a showstopping bouquet with wonderful intensity and delineation. Displaying Seville orange, quince and blood orange, with hints of stem ginger and Japanese yuzu, it is difficult to drag your nose away from the glass. The palate is brilliant: stunning balance and precision, razor-sharp with almost penetrating acidity that effortlessly offsets the richness and intensity of this fully-mature Sauternes. There's so much energy. This is a revivifying Yquem at peak and unequivocally the best example of '75 that I have tasted. Tasted at the château.

A wine that has reached its peak, the 1975 d'Yquem offers up a candied bouquet with aromas of quince, apricot, saffron, orange peel, curry and incense, complemented by a medium-bodied, balanced and tense palate with a concentrated core of fruit but slightly phenolic currently, concluding with a long, beeswax-inflected finish.
One of my favourite vintages from this decade, this bottle of 1975 Château Yquem is just sublime. Burnished amber in hue, the bouquet blossoms with quince, beeswax and peach skin touches, with a slight chlorophyll element in the background. The palate is exquisitely balanced, with incredible depth and viscous mandarin and Clementine notes. A subtle crème brûlée hint appears toward the lingering finish. Glorious! Tasted at La Trompette in London.
Deep amber. Rich barley-sugar nose. With a strong suggestion of acidity on the nose. Great balance even if not one of the sweetest Yquems. Refreshing! Serve this with a savoury course? Really lively and charming. Richard Olney, in his monograph on Ch d'Yquem, said this was great and recalled 1937. Not thick or particularly sweet. (JR)
