Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: "If there can ever be a perfect vintage for a vineyard, 2000 was that way for Brand," said Olivier Humbrecht. He added that the 2000 Riesling Brand "is like the 1989 or 1998 yet not as sweet and with additional richness...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 96 points: (94-96 points) Pale, bright yellow. Sexy high-pitched yet delicate aromas of nectarine, lime, flint and white flowers on the captivating, almost Mosel-like nose. Then broad and inviting, offering soft, nuanced flavors of...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: The aromas of stone, lime and flowers are amazing. Full body, great depth of fruit and tightness. Muscular yet agile. It is a subtle wine showing great complexity. Intense mineral. Tightly wound. Made from biodynamically...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, 100 points: The infamous "Madonna" glass: Sitting three tables down from the diva at Mirabelle, the sommelier kindly siphoned off a glass for our table to taste. Still, that's ample repayment for me buying nearly all her records over...

Wine Spectator, 97 points: Classic exciting Yquem. Silky creamy and round yet armed with plenty of intense botrytized flavors--dried apricot raisin dried fig. Full-bodied with caramel and butterscotch complexity it ends on a very intense...

Wine Spectator, 100 points: From one of the 20th century's celebrated vintages for Yquem this bottle stands up to all the hype--unforgettable for its purity elegance harmony its "total" everything. Powerful yet it seems weightless on the palate...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: The 1975 Château d'Yquem stands as one of the towering successes of that decade and at 40 years of age, it shows no signs of losing any of its prowess. This bottle represented one of the best that I have encountered...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, 97 points: (NM95-97 points) Deep amber hue. A youthful nose of orange-peel, honey, wax and apricot. It does not explode and charm like the '75, this is much more reserved. The palate is very powerful and focused with mineral, quince...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: This year is a perfect example of a vintage that was much better for the sweet wines of Barsac and Sauternes than it was for the red wines. Yquem produced its greatest wine since the twin titans of 1975 and 1976. Medium...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: The 1981 is certainly an outstanding Yquem but it will not be considered one of this property's greatest efforts. Light golden with a moderately intense bouquet of spicy vanillin oak fresh melons and tropical fruit this...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: Served from an ex-chateau bottle. Sauternes only produced two exceptional wines in 1982: Suduiraut and Yquem. Although I have encountered the 1982 Chateau d’Yquem on three occasions, this is the finest bottle. It was an...

Wine Spectator, 98 points: Super-intense and full-throttled elegant and stylish. Dark amber in color and rich in complexity this '83 coats your mouth with butterscotch dried apricot fig and spice flavors. Made to age for decades.
