Cliff decided that we needed a Celebration of 1955, and volunteered many many bottles. Harry organised. Others were grateful. It started at lunchtime, on Tuesday 13th June 2023, at the Boot & Flogger.
Mature brick red. Limited nose, dominated by cedar. Sour fruit on the palate with generous acidity keeping the fruit bright. Medium bodied but with cranberry fruit dominating the aftertaste with hints of cedar making for a great finish. A nice glass of wine. 89/100. Decanted about 30 minutes.
