• James Suckling bewertete (03/2021) Château d'Yquem 2018 wie folgt: "An extremely polished and refined d’Yquem with lightly cooked peaches and mangos and an overlay of vanilla and cream with some lemon meringue. Orange peel, too. What is striking is the texture, which is creamy and so fine. The tannins give the wine energy and beauty. The finish is extremely long and impressive. So clean and refined. Not heavy at all, but vivid and clean as crystal. Goes on for minutes. Elegance with stature is a good description. Drinkable now, but better in 2023 and onwards.." - 97 Punkte
• Vinum bewertete (09/2021) Château d'Yquem 2018 wie folgt: "Ungemein verführerische, gefällige und doch vielschichtige Aromatik, Noten von Backgewürzen, Dörraprikose, aber auch Zitrusfrüchte, Kräuter, Botrytis; voller Ansatz, grosse Dichte, Fülle und Länge, aber auch ideale Struktur, ewige Länge, entwickelt nach 24 Stunden sogar eine erste Ahnung von Eleganz, mit floralen Noten von Minze; überwältigend gut, beeindruckend, gross: unbedingt reifen lassen oder ausgiebig belüften.." - 18,5/20
• Robert Parker's Wine Advocate bewertete (10/2020) Château d'Yquem 2018 wie folgt: "The 2018 d'Yquem is all lime cordial, grapefruit oil and mandarin peel to begin. With a little coaxing, the fireworks really begin, letting off a whole array of honeysuckle, candied ginger, dried pineapple, lemon pastilles, chalk dust and sea spray scents, followed by a savory undercurrent of shaved almonds, allspice and baking bread. The palate is an exercise in polish and poise, featuring the most gorgeously creamy texture and bright, sparkling freshness, framing all the densely laden tropical and citrus fruit layers, finishing with a powerful BANG of profound floral and spice perfume. It is wonderfully sweet, yes, but that—paradoxically for a "sweet wine"—is almost beside the point. " - 98 Punkte
• Decanter bewertete (09/2020) Château d'Yquem 2018 wie folgt:"As ever with Yquem, patience was the key, taking in the grapes slowly but surely over 17 days harvest that extended well into October.
  The results in the glass are intense and glossy, full of satin-textured apricot and white peach flavours. There are exotic fruits of pineapple and mango but winemaker Sandrine Garbay has kept a focus on fresher flavours of lime zest and citrus that balance out the natural richness and concentration. Pretty closed right now, but there is power and balance here, an excellent Yquem." - 97 Punkte
