Tasting Note: Six notes. In its youth, deeper and bigger than the other DRC '66s. By the mid and late 1980s, harmonious, sweet, crisp flavour; tannic finish. Most recently: medium, mature; glorious, perfection; lovely flavour and length, mouthfilling, highest alcohol and an end bite. Superb. Last tasted Oct 2003 ***** Ready but will keep. M.B.
