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.
A deep olive-brown colour with a green rim. An amazing nose of orange caramel. Fabulous acidity on the palate! Intense bitter-sweet dark orange marmalade with such concentrated flavours. Burnt marmalade aftertaste and an amazing lengthy finish that manages to be dry despite the intensity of the flavours. Wow! What a stunning wine. 98/100. Decanted 6 hours.
