Community Tasting Note

  September 11, 2018 - Brought instant tears to my eyes. Speechless. This is true greatness. It's also a legendary vintage - and the proof is right here, 54 years later. Pure spice - a light smattering of clove, and cinnamon very clearly. Figs, carob and a dusting of cocoa. Beautiful sweetness, incredibly purity and acidity, no cloudiness or faults of any kind, impeccable class, definition and poise. Sensational - a dazzling symbiosis of opposites: classical and modern, powerful and delicate, modest and lofty, humble and haughty. Utterly convincing. Genius.
