Score 87/100 · Robert Parker

This wine has been a sleeper of the vintage - always providing surprisingly delicious drinking. The most recent tasting (from a magnum) revealed a wine that was not a blockbuster, rather, the quintessentially elegant style of claret that seems incapable of being replicated in the New World. The color is a mature garnet with considerable rust at the edge. A sweet nose of cedar, fruitcake, berries, and tobacco is followed by a medium-weight, light-styled Pomerol that retains its fresh, ripe fruit, as well as a vibrancy that seems unusual for the vintage. I have a half-dozen tasting notes for the 1967, and they reveal I have consistently found this to be a charming, light-weight, but delicious claret. Anticipated maturity: Now.
