--Vintage 1961
Level: 4.5cm; corroded capsule; torn labelmagnum (1)
--Vintage 1961
Levels: 3.5cm & 4.5cm(2)
"As always, a totally different style, different taste, from its Medoc peers. But like them, an unmistakable depth of colour, just as the '45s had. A singed, tobacco and tea-leaves scent, harmonious no harsh edges - confident, elegant and superb in its own slightly idiosyncratic way. An elegant, silky texture, as opposed to the more rustic, vigorous La Mission. Never very dry, it now has a pleasing sweetness, perfectly assimilated tannins and acidity, balance and length. Beautiful." GVWB II
