Huge, voluptuous guava and pomegranate flavours on the palate, so alluring and come-hither. Then follows a fascinating saline finish that makes it even more intriguing. A simply fabulous wine and what an amazing contrast with the 1961, which is majestic in quite a different way. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 931 bt (cn)Estimates are per lot
