The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 99 points
December 10, 2016 - 1966 Château Haut Brion: Current Retail ~$800 (?). Whoa. That nose. Whoa. Blackberry and blueberry with earth and a touch of funk. On the palate this is heavenly. I am biased by the year, but this is a phenomenal wine. Rich, silky, all in concert. Whoa. The finish? I was worried about analyzing it as the wine was fading by the second, but I wanted to relish in that finish that lasted close to five minutes. Whoa. Times 66. I tried to objectively assess this wine without the obvious sentimental value attached to it. Still? Incredible does not begin to describe it. I guess this is the time to try this wine and this is why people search out “birthday wines.” 98-100 Points. Best wine I have ever had??? thedrunkencyclist.com
