1960 Cockburn, bottled by the Wine Society. Decanted 2 hours. Smooth, full of richly perfumed and lovingly spiced mature fruit. Singing in glorious harmony — Johann Sebastian Bach rather than Carl Orff. Superb. 96/100.

Thank you for sharing, Derek!

The musical comparison made me smile. I can only bring one piece by Carl Orff to mind (which I happen to enjoy), whereas for Bach there are some good pieces, but I can't bring any of his choral works to mind that I have enjoyed.
Hopefully this doesn't preclude me from drinking future Ck60 as that can be wonderful.

A bottle of any good port and a good recording of the St Matthew Passion is an admirable pairing, not least because, presuming you to be drinking solo, they last about the same amount of time.

Googled how long St. Matthew's Passion is...5 minutes and 23 seconds. Hmmm.
