BUY THE WINE

Neil Beckett: (Bin 707) Deep ruby, still with a reddish rather than tawny hue. More potent to smell than the 1953, but with the same seductively silken smoothness of texture. At once fresh and sweetly fruited, mellow but far from fading, with great finesse within the firmness, and plenty of supporting structure. Clean, fresh, unswerving. 18
