The scores for 1975 Chateau d Yquem Sauternes Premier Cru Superieur - Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider - 99, Vinous - 98, The Wine Advocate - 98, Wine Spectator - 97, The Wine Independent - 97. The rating for 1975 Chateau d Yquem Sauternes Premier Cru Superieur is 99 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Deep gold in color, the 1975 d'Yquem gives up initial notes of cashew butter, manuka honey, dried apricots, musk perfume and fallen leaves over a core of spice cake, applesauce, fungi and lemongrass. The palate is laden with bright, vibrant stone fruit and preserved citrus fruit flavors, laced with honey-nut accents and finishing provocatively earthy. While intense and hedonically satisfying, this beguiling vintage has so many nuances emerging as it unfurls, it stops you in your tracks. Make sure it is the very last wine of the evening, because once you taste this, everything else will pale into insignificance. Although this wine is currently well within its ideal drinking window, there's certainly no rush to drink well-preserved bottles.
