Neil Beckett: Ruby red. Meatier and richer to smell than the 1958, but no deviation or volatility. Astonishing richness and sweetness of fruit, but with a fine seam of acidity and gentle, rubbery grip from the rising, still substantial tannins. Great beauty and harmony of flavor and superb length. Drink now. 17.5
