djhammond Likes this wine: 100 points
November 28, 2021 - From a half bottle purchased with impeccable provenance, this is liquid perfection. It is incredible that a 66 year old wine can have such freshness. Old leather, bitumen and ripe plum and blackberry overwhelm the the sensory process and you could almost hallucinate on the aromas. The palate is seamless with everything perfectly integrated, but surprisingly the tannin still has a perfectly balanced bite on the finish. Even the cork was perfectly intact!
