VM 96 (3/2025): This might be the best bottle of 1995 Yquem that I have encountered. This bottle is perhaps slightly less deep in colour than the one tasted three years earlier. The bouquet is divine: marmalade, orane pith, tangerine, saffron and here, the lightest of adhesive notes. Wonderful delineation. The palate is very complex and exquisitely defined, still a precocious Yquem, though less reserved on the back end with mandarin, quince and dried honey. This is drinking beautifully right now. Tasted at the château. (Drink between 2025-2050). Neal Martin.
JD 96 (3/2025): Tasted from a half bottle, the 1995 Château D'Yquem is clearly mature yet, like just about every vintage from this heralded château, has decades ahead of it. Caramelized orange, toffee, apricot jam, and exotic floral, spicy notes all define this medium to full-bodied, rich, layered Yquem. It has nicely integrated acidity, beautifully balanced sweetness, and a gorgeous finish. It doesn't hit the heights of some of the all-time greats, but it's a quintessential, beautifully mature example of Yquem that's such a joy to drink.
WA 95 (3/2014): Served from an ex-chateau bottle. The 1995 Chateau d’Yquem is moving into its secondary aroma phase. A deep golden color, it has a dense and almost Barsac-like bouquet with tangerine, apricot, acacia and melted candle wax. It displays good intensity, unfolding beautifully in the glass. The palate has a strident opening, with a slight bitter edge that lends this Yquem great tension. One can discern layers of marmalade infused with honey fruit, with a powerful, spicy finish that lingers long in the mouth. This is drinking perfectly now, but will surely age with style over many years. |
