Description

'Still a spectacular wine, the 1961 defies mortality. It has been at its peak for nearly 15 years, yet it shows no signs of losing its fruit and drying out. The color is a dark garnet with orange/amber at the edge. The profound bouquet has the magnetic allure that leaves great Bordeaux unmatched for complexity. Sweet notes of dried fruits, herbs, tobacco, smoke, and roasted meats are followed by an opulently-textured, thick, nearly viscous wine with high glycerin, ripe, jammy fruit, and an intoxicating combination of glycerin, extract, and suppleness. The wine holds in the glass without cracking up, and has a good 40-45 second finish. There is no telling how much longer this 1961 will retain its magic, but it is still a classic. Anticipated maturity: now-2010. 95pts'

'This has always been a great 1961, the first claret that I tasted from this vintage. A ripe, fresh, well-defined nose with light wild strawberry, cherry, citrus fruits and even here a touch of coconut milk. Superb clarity and joie-de-vivre. The palate exhibits lovely balance, immense freshness and vitality with superb focus. Cherry, blackberry leaf and a touch of white pepper – in essence this 1961 offers more enjoyment and pleasure than most other wines of the vintage because it simply has more vitality and does not take itself so seriously. Superb. Drink now-2018. Tasted June 2007. 95pts'
