Other Reviews....
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. Drink 2025 - 2045.

Neal Martin - Antonio Galloni's Vinous (April 2025)

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. Drink 2023 - 2030.
