100 Points

Saturday, February 25, 2023 - A private tasting (Buurtcafé De Tros, Amsterdam, NL): A blend of 53% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot. Amazing, perfumed nose, perfect proportions on the palate, everything in the right place, incredible richness of ripe mulberry fruit, floral lift and spicy depth, voluptuous and feminine but firm and lively, magical balance and elegance, satiny tannins, real concentration but such a lightness of being, effortless line and length. Huge promise. The new 1961? My guess is that it is, and for me this was a perfect bottle.
