Blandy's Bastardo Demijohn Selection 1927
Bottled 2013. New wax capsules. Stencilled bottles
Tasting note: Refined nose, at first slightly cheesy, needing some air then Provençal spices, lavender and sage. Beautiful developed, complex, raisins and honey. Intense taste, tangy acidity and great length. Full bodied ending with slightly dry finish. Fabulous wine. I so hope there will be more new plantings of this very rare variety. The demijohn wine seemed more open and expressive then the earlier "regular" bottling served March 2012 at Christie's Amsterdam with Michael Broadbent. Tasted January 2013, E.V.
