Description

A bottle from the cellars of a Dorset gentleman who had it "from around 1967".

Good level for such a venerable bottle - see photo - a good complete and unmarked label. The embossed capsule is in excellent order with no signs of seepage.
"As good as it gets"

Robert Parker 96
Tasted 6 Times With Consistent Notes
Fully mature, yet continuing to exhibit gobs of rich, lush, expansive fruit, the 1961 has amber/orange edges, and possesses an exotic bouquet of ripe fruit, vanillin, caramel, mint, and cedar. Fat, rich, and loaded with sweet, highly extracted fruit, this velvety, beautifully crafted wine has a 60-75 second finish. It is a brilliant wine that should hold up nicely for up to a decade. Anticipated maturity: now-2005.

Brick in colour, with some, tobacco, wild strawberry, cigar box, truffle and decaying leaf notes in the hauntingly, complex set of aromatics. The palate is refined, sensuous and silky, ending with a soft, sweet, ripe and over ripe sensation of spicy red berries that remains on your palate for at least 40 seconds. Bottles with great storage, or in large formats can still age and improve!

MNSC - Alex (Amuse Bouche): opened, decanted and served immediately. glorious perfume of tobacco and black fruits. light, elegant, almost feminine. can't really ask for a better wine as the first red of the evening.

A legendary Ducru, many said so. PnP, reveal some funky note with some dried dark fruits, mint and cedar. On the palate it was quite tannic and tight, not really reveal the legendary status, at least I'm not convince. However, the wine improves drastically over the next 60-90mins. The fruits is alive again, become fresher, sweeter and not as dried as the 1st serving. Utterly complex and seductive bouquet here: mint, cedar, floral, sweet blackcurrant fruits as well as mineral and cigar box, elegance and fine, hard not to like it. WOW, the palate is even more captivating. Finesse and harmony comes to mind. Still going strong with excellent intensity, energy as well as detail layer of complexity. The tannin grip at the back end keep the finish going on and on, with juicy sweet dark fruits and dried tea leaves aftertaste.
