label bin soiled and damp affected

Sadly not a great vintage from this uneven decade

so you can follow its journey right to your door

A light vintage that turned out better than expected

What a pleasure - not a wine I'd ever expected to try

wine level very top shoulder

justifiably

The nose is immediately very aromatic and feels like classic Bordeaux varieties showing celery seed

A vintage that needs no introduction

whilst not as great as 1961
