Robert Parker (85)

In what was a miserable vintage, Yquem managed to produce a toasty, ripe, pineapple, buttery-scented wine with a predominate oaky character. Seventy percent of the crop was eliminated in 1977, and the result is a wine that may well turn out to be almost as good as the underrated 1973. Anticipated maturity: Now-2000. Last tasted, 2/84.

The 1977 Yquem, my third bottle in the last couple of years, was picked from October 20 until November 26, though nothing after November 7 was usedl. Just 30% of the production was bottled. It has a pretty nose with dried honey, mandarin and light minty scents that are well defined. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, fresh and vibrant with a tangy, short-but-refreshing finish. Probably the best bottle I've encountered. Just 81 g/l residual sugar. Tasted at the château.
