  Freaky bottle as this was not well developed; nothing tertiary and slightly vegetal. Likely an off bottle. Eminently drinkable but not consistent with other bottles. A late release.

  Consistent notes- albeit a bit strangely undeveloped for the vintage.

  (from a release going back between 2007-2010). This bottling is showing some very nice tertiary sweetness in the form of tell-tale caramel and brown sugar with strong soil, sous bois and game/iron through the nose and palate. Deliciously rich and almost unctuous in the mouth and like previous bottles, this still show such power and richeness yet. Salted beef stock and fine leather with more air. No rush, either!

  Big aromas of leather, bacon fat, smoke, soy sauce (on the palate), French onion soup, beef jerky and other savory flavors. Very punchy, darker-toned flavors today. Notable structure remains today (tannins) and shows good punch but also grip to the flavors. A big wine that is hard to believe its all from '66.

  Annual holiday dinner with DC winos: fabulous wines kick off 2016! (Ripple Restaurant in Washington D.C.): A surprisingly fresh tasting 50 year old Burgundy that somehow impressed me more than the two 1985s served along with it. I am tempted to score even higher, so enthusiastic did it make me, but upon further reflection it was not exactly the most complex or long wines as some of the others gems we enjoyed for this special holiday dinner. Nonetheless, it exuded - still - a slight dark fruit aspect along expected tertiary notes associated with fresh wet earth and, lightly so, champignon. There was juicy freshness on the mid palate, leading to a clean and smooth, longish finish. Quite a feat, and not everyday that I enjoy a 1966... Many thanks to Ken Brown for this special bottle, the cork of which was easy to pull, as it had been recently reconditioned, Ken explained.
