"I originally coined the phrase 'a Churchill of a wine,' meaning larger than life, immediately recognisable, complex, endlessly fascinating, unforgettable The first thing to notice is its extraordinary colour. I have on more than one occasion recognised the wine by this alone. and its bouquet is equally distinctive, in fact one of the most astonishing smells ever to emerge from grapes grown out of doors. The power and spiciness surges out of the glass like a sudden eruption of Mount Etna: cinnamon, eucalyptus, ginger, 'Friars Balsam' (noted once!) Impossible to describe but inimitable, incomparable, and,.because of this and its appearance, several times 'guessed' blind. There is simply no other wine like it. Its taste is a component of smell, its fragrance is reflected on the palate. Still lovely, still vivacious. Seemingly tireless-indeed another half century anticipated. Last tasted blind, and immediately recognised, at Wilfred Jaeger's mountain-top late lunch, June 2001 ****** (6 stars)" MB, Vintage Wines
