It was also very sweet in a musky, nutty, caramel-y way. There was lots of oil in this rich and nutty wine, and as soon as I tasted it, I flashed to 1971 and 76 Grange. This menthol/eucalyptus craziness was total Grange. It was rich, hearty and full of strawberry flavors. Bipin concurred that this was always one of the sweeter 61's, and likened it to a bon-bon ."(94pts JK) Provenance: From Europe with Love: Our continental gentleman, a collector of extraordinary taste and legendary generosity, returns with 100+ selections of ancient and modern wonders. The headline is 1959 Latour, supported by Cheval Blanc from 1953, 1955, and 1961, full cases of 1975 and 1982 La Mission Haut-Brion, and Margaux reaching back to 1924. Red Burgundy showcases 1971 Rousseau Chambertin and twelve bottles of 1999 Grivot Richebourg in OCB, while White Burgundy introduces the rare 2016 L’Exceptionnelle Vendange des Sept Domaines Montrachet and Coche-Dury Meursault Perrières from 2013 and 2015. A jeroboam of 1964 Pommery and two bottles of 1875 Barbeito Malvasia Madeira bring a proper final toast. All wines ideally stored in Europe.
