So, something a little bit different from my local wine bar tonight. Still drinking very well after 34 years- strong stuff at 14.5%, but the alcohol level seems to have held the core of the wine together despite the age. Still plenty of ripe fruit, which hasn’t significantly faded- along with the tertiary cigar box/ forest floor notes, makes for quite an interesting wine: best I can come up with is a sort of supercharged aged Bordeaux, as the overall style is definitely French. Not subtle, but none the worse for it.
Good enough for me to buy a second bottle, which in the traditional manner of things will probably be corked.

Says 13.5%. Sounds good though!
This is incredibly sought after. There are so few drinkable wines from 91, terrible vintage across Europe.
I’ve had it many times. Try the 91 Seavey!
