Description of the Château Yquem
Robert Parker : 95 points
"Served from an ex-chateau bottle. The 1995 Chateau d’Yquem is moving into its secondary aroma phase. A deep golden color, it has a dense and almost Barsac-like bouquet with tangerine, apricot, acacia and melted candle wax. It displays good intensity, unfolding beautifully in the glass. The palate has a strident opening, with a slight bitter edge that lends this Yquem great tension. One can discern layers of marmalade infused with honey fruit, with a powerful, spicy finish that lingers long in the mouth. This is drinking perfectly now, but will surely age with style over many years. Tasted March 2014." (2014)
Quarin : 17,75/20
"Goûté trois fois en une année, je pense que ce vin rentre dans une nouvelle phase de fermeture. Je le trouve toujours très bon, mais moins magique. Couleur dorée. Nez intense, fin, fruité, subtil, avec une touche de vernis à ongles. Superbe bouche raffinée où le vin fond suave et noble, sur une longueur normale. Ne pas hésiter à le boire."

Mouton Rothschild
Pauillac
Mouton comes through again. Impressive ’93, deep in color and full-bodied, boasting plenty of currant, black cherry, mint and toast character. Well crafted, showing depth for this vintage. Give the tannins some time to mellow
Léoville Poyferré
Saint-Julien
Château Haut-Bailly
Pessac-Léognan
Medium to full-bodied, very firm and yet wonderfully plush with a powerful core of fruit—this vintage is truly an iron fist in a velvet glove. The finish goes on and on with persistent earthy/minerally notes and savory/sweet fruit
Château Eglise Clinet
Pomerol
The 2014 L’Eglise Clinet was tasted from a single bottle but from two glasses, each poured at different times before I arrived for the tasting
