March 28, 2023 - From a pristine, reliable source, this bottle was shining bright. Served blind next to ‘89 and ‘01, it was the winner, with people guessing 70’s. So much for ‘challenging vintage’.
It’s the only 1969 Grange I have ever tasted, so I can’t generalize, but just from reading up, I would never have guessed that vintage. It was clearly mature, but in the best way possible. It was delicious after 5 minutes and while it didn’t improve with, it maintained the high level with air
Freshly ground espresso beans, BBQ-Sauce, Coke, malted chocolate, porcini mushrooms, reminded me of my favorite Choco-Coffee Burger (at Parkers Dubai). All this intertwined with some more traditional mature Bordeaux notes of forest-floor, dried leaves and leather.
What a wine and what a surprise!540 views
