Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Wednesday, April 3, 2013 - Gorgeous burnt copper appearance. Floral, caramelly notes of dried apricots and oranges, candied pecans, creme brulee, citrus, honey, orange rind, toasted coconut, and a whiff of fish sauce. The '61 was never a heavyweight to begin with and surely it isn't what it once was, but this example was full, glyceriny, adequately balanced, with pleasant sweetness and a surprisingly long finish.
