What the critics say
86 VMVinous, Neal Martin, 06-06-2024
The 1944 Yquem is a rare old bird, and I asked Pierre Lurton if he would not mind pouring it specifically for this article. Of course, it is completely eclipsed by the 1945 and even the 1943. Yet it puts in a creditable performance. Very deep in color, it has an odd nose that brings to mind red fruit, Morello cherries intermixed with rosewater and cough candy, simple but pleasant. The palate has a sharp, almost acrid opening with marmalade and bitter orange with a touch of VA on the finish. It could nearly pass as a very old rouge. This is certainly enjoyable even if, for most, it would be of curiosity value only. Tasted at the château.
