Wines from 1966

[Gareth Germain]

La Mission Haut Brion was mesmerising the two times I've had it in the last few years, Talbot and Gruaud were also very respectable, and Haut Bailly is very much up there with the best. A very good year for claret and still some bargains to be had (especially to en primeur prices now!)

 

[Keith Levenberg]

As is Haut Bailly - sensational wine and I paid less than 100 quid a couple of years ago.

Yep - I like it better than the '66 Haut Brion.

 

[Rainer Guntermann]

Fonseca 1966 is great, Ducru Beaucaillou a wine to look for, Gruaud Larose not bad, Chapelle Chambertin from Leroy a treat, Chambolle Musigny Les Amoureuses from Bouchard not far behind and Château Suduiraut or Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling feinste Auslese from J.J. Pruem a great way to end a meal before trying the Port . All drunk in the last 2 years.

I have a bottle of Max Ferd. Richter 1966 Mülheimer Sonnenlay riesling (no Prädikat mentioned). God knows what it'll be like. Perhaps I'll bring it to SuperBOWL.

I believe that Chris Hambleton may have access to a case of Cristal '66.... He flagged it in a Bid for Wine email on Friday - under the hammer on 22nd April (no connection (now) etc etc)
