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. — 11 years ago
2007 Beaucastel. So good right now, as yet so much more potential. Love to retaste in 2025 — 12 years ago
A nicely balanced cab with just the right amount of tannins and oak and well balanced fruit. This is a great buy at 42 dollars. — 11 years ago
Nutty, sherry-esque, youthful. Dosed to 11-14g. Just guessing. Flipping out right now! — 11 years ago
Big wine with tropical fruit. Coconut dominates. Finish is not too long...but just right. — 11 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.
