WA 86 (12/1997): Surprisingly successful in what was a mediocre vintage for the wines of this region, the 1973 Yquem is overtly oaky and too spicy, but has very good concentration, less sweetness and botrytis than in vintages like 1975 and 1976, and is well balanced, fat, and long on the palate (only 12% of the crop was used for Yquem).
VM 79 (5/2025): The 1973 Yquem is a vintage that I have not encountered for many years. It was cropped at just 3.5 hl/ha between October 2 until November 21. It has a lightly adhesive-scented nose that lacks vigour, with subtle touches of mandarin. The palate is bitter on the entry with tangy Seville orange marmalade, and then it kind of "gives up" and scuttles towards an atypically abrupt finish. Drink up. Tasted at the château. (Drink between 2025-2027). Neal Martin. |

| WA 75 (1/1998): There is really nothing wrong with this wine, but it seems one-dimensional and innocuous and clearly lacks character and depth. It is a minor Sauternes. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 11/82. |
