Critic tasting note: (1966 vintage) "Charming, in an old-school, classic manner, the wine is not weighty, instead, it provides aromatic complexity with its spices, dried roses, cedar, tobacco, cigar box, and creme de cases character. Medium-bodied, refined, and reserved, this is a perfect example of a mature claret. A bit more concentration and the score would have popped higher. This was a very well-stored bottle, which showed much-better than previous examples. Drink from 2024-2030." - Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

Tasted: Feb 2024
Charming, in an old-school, classic manner, the wine is not weighty, instead, it provides aromatic complexity with its spices, dried roses, cedar, tobacco, cigar box, and creme de cases character. Medium-bodied, refined, and reserved, this is a perfect example of a mature claret. A bit more concentration and the score would have popped higher. This was a very well-stored bottle, which showed much-better than previous examples. Drink from 2024-2030.
1966 Vintage
Tasted: Nov 2009
Mittleres Rubingranat mit orangefarbenen Reflexen und breiterer Randaufhellung. In der Nase einladende Kaffeenoten, zart nach Milchkaramell, süße Kirschfrucht, Nuancen von Orangenzesten, ein Hauch von weißen Trüffeln, etwas Zedernholz. Am Gaumen feine rotbeerige Frucht, schokoladiger Anklang, von der jahrgangstypischen frischen Säurestruktur getragen, Nuancen von Dörrzwetschken, etwas Bitterschokolade im Abgang, facettenreiche Aromatik, bleibt gut haften, legt im Glas sehr gut zu. Aber Achtung, aus Einzelflaschen zeigt sich der Wein bereits deutlich gealtert! ! Trinken
