Yep, had a glass of this on New Year’s Day this year and confidently predicted here that it would not be surpassed as Wine of the Year. While there’ve been a couple of strong challengers, its remained in place and I don’t see me drinking anything to touch it over the next six days. Spellbinding stuff.
I remember my single experience of this-the cork absolutely reeked of TCA which thankfully and amazingly hadn’t transmitted into the wine, which while delicious tasted at least fifteen years older than expected.
