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...

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...

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, 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, 94 points: A charming Yquem that's round, thick, dense and very honeyed. But it doesn't taste of botrytized, dried fruit flavors (the château tried to wait for noble rot and harvested late, into December). While creamy and opulent...

Wine Spectator, 97 points: Very classy and beautiful packed with botrityzed flavors. Marvelous blend of vanilla cream tobacco-box notes with a lot of oak on it for now but also loads of pure clean and elegant fruit. An infant that will age for a...

91 points: Yquem's 1991 is a beautifully made, medium gold-colored wine with a gorgeous nose of creme brulee, roasted coffee, and sweet, honeyed pineapple and other assorted fruits. Full-bodied, unctuously-textured, and rich, but...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, 99 points: Tasted at the chateau. O.K. - I think this is better than the 1990! Intense hue. Brilliant expressive apricot/orangey nose with tonnes of botrytis. Unctuous and fat. Slightly lower in acidity than other vintages. Very...
