Introduction
One of Linden's Fine Wine Experience tastings and for all those present something of an adventure. The '74 was completely over the hill, and the 1960s wines were pretty much past it too. The final flight saved the day, with the 1958 J-6 being an absolute stunner, the wine of the night for almost all present.

The oldest looking wine in the tasting, sweaty oxidised nose, malty, sweet, over the hill

Big sweet raisin nose, porty, a lot of plush fruit, but not very lively or interesting. It did firm up in the glass, though

Fresher, fragrant, almost burgundian on the nose, rather elegant, simple at first, but grew in the glass - quite fine

Sherried marmite nose, very concentrated, grainy tannin - but too old

A bit medicinal, and some marmite too on the nose, but masses of thick, rich, cassis fruit, sumptuous texture

Fat and minty, amazingly deep, ripe and concentrated, long, powerful, nuanced and it got better and better in the glass - superb
