Decanter Magazine (David Peppercorn MW) 18,5/20
There is a lovely purity to the fruit and clear botrytis concentration, if less than in the great years. Has all the hallmarks of a fine, elegant Yquem. A very polished, well-presented sample. Drink 2013-2035.
Jancis Robinson 18/20
Quiet on the nose. More spiced pear and apricot than orange. Lovely concentration. Spiced power, depth and quite warm on the finish. Fresh in a powerful rather than a delicate way. Dense and long. Rich and well integrated oak though there's lots of spice all the way through. A less delicate style than many in this vintage. (JH) Drink 2018-36
TAST / Bettane & Desseauve 19/20
Encore une fois le château a bénéficié de la diversité de ses sols et de la souplesse logistique de ses équipes qui ont assuré un volume de production tout à fait satisfaisant ! Le vin est à la hauteur de l'attente non pas par un supplément de volume de bouche mais par sa perfection formelle. Perfection de la prise de bois, perfection de l'équilibre alcool/acide/liqueur, perfection des sensations tactiles. Sa finesse, sa pureté aromatique, son charme relèvent du meilleur de la civilisation du vin et montrent à tous ce que doit être un grand sauternes de notre temps.
Wine Advocate / Neal MARTIN 95-97/100
Coming in with 139 degrees residual sugar and a pH of 4.75, this is an Yquem that is unequivocally top of the pile in 2008. A light straw color with green tints in the glass. The bouquet is just wonderful, very perfumed with aromas of apricot, acacia honey and white flowers. A degree less clarity than the 2007, but perhaps more nuanced, more honeyed. The palate is a little more viscous than the 2007, lacquers the mouth with honey, apricot and orange zest. Very harmonious, the finish vibrant and edgy, real tension and energy in this Yquem. Very focused on the finish – not the “peacocks' tail of flavors that one finds on truly great vintages. But there is a surreal level of elegance and poise – an understated Yquem that should age effortlessly and returning to the glass it graces you with hints of almond and a dash of spice. In 2008, the king is king. P.S. RMP rated this blend of 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon (94-96)
Revue du Vin de France 17,5-18,5/20
Du fait de sa situation géographique priviligiée, Yquem a pour l'essentiel échappé au gel, d'où un rendement record à la récolte de 15 hl/ha. Seules les zones sablonneuses (30% de la superficie) ont été impactées. Lors de notre passage, l'assemblage définitif n'avait pas été réalisé. Nous avons donc goûté des lots séparés ainsi que deux pré-assemblages. Les deux essais présentés s'avèrent très probants avec un botrytis omniprésent, des sucrs résiduels s'inscrivant dans une fourchette de 132-136g (très légèrement supérieurs à 2007) et un registre aromatique magistral. Un excellent Yquem en perspective.
Neal Martin (on Robert Parker website) 95-97"Firstly, you notice the color, which is a touch deeper than recent vintages at this stage. The bouquet is quite honeyed and rich for Yquem at this early juncture, with subtle scents of peach skin, white flowers, and a puff of chalk and frangipane. The palate is viscous on the entry, all about the texture at first, coating the mouth with luscious botrytized fruit. There are touches of Seville orange marmalade, fresh apricot, a hint of spice and passion fruit. This is imbued with impressive depth and weight, perhaps an Yquem that is determined to make an impression after last year's absence. It might not possess the finesse of a top flight Yquem, but it has immense power and persistency."
Richard Hemming MW (on Jancis Robinson website) 19+"Pale gold – not as lustrous, perhaps, as you'd expect. Really intense nose – no shortcomings apparent here, the flavours are pure and complex and compelling. Marmalade, lime juice, treacle tart and a savoury note too – mushroom, mint, menthol. Beautiful elegance on the palate – wonderful sweetness with precise acidity."
Tim Atkin MW 96"The leading Sauternes in 2013 (as it should be, given its price tag) and one of the best Yquems since 2001, partly justifying the claims by producers and négociants for the sweet wine vintage. Aromatic and pure, with botrytis-derived notes of peach, marmalade and apricot, vanilla oak and a long, harmonious finish, with 30% Sauvignon adding freshness."
Jeannie Cho Lee MW (on Decanter website) 18½"Excellent intensity and density for this vintage, with ripe pineapple and mango flavours. High residual sugar at 140 grams per litre balanced by fresh, crisp acidity."
