Richard Mayson: An exceptionally hot year, not declared by Cockburn. Lovely color, still deep with a thin browning rim; singed on the nose, a touch of roasted coffee bean; still tight-knit and powerful, very rich and sweet, toasted yet powerfully rich and sumptuous, with a broad, ripe, tannic finish. Possibly not the best 1948 I have tasted, but not far off! 18
