1975 Chateau d'Yquem 750ml

Reviews: 93 points Wine Advocate, "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. (YC)" 98 points Vinous, "One of my favourite vintages from this decade, this bottle of 1975 Chateau 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 creme brulee hint appears toward the lingering finish. Glorious! (NM)"
