Red Kool-Ade and burnt plum skins with toasty citrus notes and sherry trifle aromas. Also, hints of cherry blossom. Medium mouthfeel with chewy tannins emerge behind a curtain of said Kool-Ade and smoked citrus peel laden bitters in flat cola, Pure cocoa, clove and and cinnamon bark. Remember "suicide sodas"? Strap on your oral roller skates while this lovely wine aims it's tannic lasers right at the disco ball you call your heart, and while the flickering flavor bubbles of your taste buds alternate to the rhythmic complexities watch in awe as it gyrates suggestively across your amazed mouth. — 13 years ago

I have tasted many 1961 over the years, this continues to be one of my favorite wines...The strange thing is that this bottle with its high necklinewas the youngest 1961 that I had ever tried, wine had an great Providence - One owner and one incredible cellar.
1961 was a magical year on the right bank; now over 50 years of age it has lost some weight but picked up elegance on the nose - wet clay, graphite/lead pencil, umami/truffle - nose candy for sure. — 12 years ago

Drinking very well right now! A good amount of fruit still there. The true enjoyment came from the finish that lingered on our tongues. Seems like Martha's Vineyard really does gets some great flavors from those surrounding eucalyptus trees.
