1964 Bordeaux Blanc, Calvet
This could have labeled - The thing that should not be. I had absolute no hope when opening this bottle and was thinking of using it as a sauce wine. I poured a sip and sniffed it. What the fuck!?
The nose is deep and vital with notes of dry fudge, dried tangerines, smoke and wet earth. Lively.
The taste is perky and upfront with a very fine warmth, notes of dry oranges, butter cookies and dusty earth. From a not so great year for white Bordeaux (even if it The Greates Vintage Ever...) and from a big negociant, this was not supposed to perform like this. But it did. Wine is fun.
