Wednesday, June 27, 2018 - Moulin Touchais: A retrospective tasing conducted by Frederik Wilbrenninck and Richard Kelley MW; 6/26/2018-6/27/2018 (The Institute of Masters of Wine, London SW11): Richard Kelley MW: 'The 1959 is supposedly the best vintage since 47 but I prefer the '55 today. It was a big vintage as far as production went. The 1959 was still commercially available until 2006!'

‘Smells like Golden Grahams breakfast cereal’ says Edwina Watson. I found it a bit muted aromatically with traces of burnt oats and apricot.
Terse and shortish flavours in the context of the previous flight (79-64). A bit brassy on the palate which hints at VA. Difficult and odd salty flavours, lacks clarity and depth, lots of acid. None of this is adding up to a stellar score is it?

I took the bottle home to try out again and it stubbornly refused to get better.
