One of the best wines I’ve ever tasted. I prefer 1929 over more expensive (and celebrated) 1928 because, having tasted them within a short time span, it gave me a greater sense of balance and continuing evolution. The color is simply unreal, an intense garnet with evident but not chromatically compromising orange hues. The bouquet has an utterly astounding intensity, with a wild mint background and distinct notes of coffee, cacao and tobacco to then close with a note of freshly ground coffee and mace. The mouthfeel has unexpected energy, one in line with high expectations but not that surprising.
