Score 19.5/20 · Drink 1960-2020, Jancis Robinson MW, May 2009

Lots of bark-like sediment but SO sweet, deep and gorgeous!!!!  What a treat.  Who needs first growths...?  A complete fully ripe wine in all sense and so sense of decay. Wonderfully deep flavoured and intense in the throat on the finish.  Tasted blind, it seemed much younger though was obviously from a great vintage. We thought possibly 1959. (JR)
