1964 Cote-Rotie: John Harvey and Sons Limited (N.Rhone, France).
I purchased this rare bottle some years ago. This Cote-Rotie was shipped and bottled by John Harvey and Sons Limited, wine merchants based in Bristol (UK). I stood it up for 24 hours prior to opening. The excellent condition cork came out in one piece and was printed with ‘Harveys of Bristol’. A medium strawberry red colour with a terracotta rim. Heavenly aromas waft from the glass. These include pot pourri, fine Cuban cigar, dried fruits and forest floor. The slightly sweet mouthfeel is silky, with a bearable lightness of being. Such a pleasure to drink this, my last bottle from a memorable trio. Are there any more bottles left in the world?
