What an incredible treasure - a wine produced as the civil war was raging, in a year when Henry Ford was born and the roller skate was patented!
Bottled by Edward Young & Co. London, the label of this wine is intact but faded, the capsule is firm and solid, and the level is - quite frankly - astonishing.
"I have 16 notes, all consistent, Most recently: impressively deep; beautiful bouquet, very sweet, soft, rich. Perfection. *****" Michael Broadbent
