September 1, 2021 - First bottle that came from a 24 mixed bottle auction lot. Bought for three bottles of burgundy. So the rest is free and I expected it all to be undrinkable.
Pleasantly surprised by this from a poor year in a decade that is elevated only by ‘61.
Fruity on nose and palate. Blood and iron on palate but not unpleasantly so. Some cloves. Sweetness and no drying. My son thought it was 5 years old and he has drunk old wines. I might have guessed 20. A huge surprise. Two more bottles of this so will save for the Three Lyonnat winning the World Cup next year…313 views
