The score for 1975 Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes Premier Cru Superieur is 93 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - 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.
