Sometimes I just can’t help myself. A random walked into the shop a while ago with three old bottles of wine that looked to be in pretty reasonable condition. He only wanted $20 a piece. This is the first of ‘em. 1964 Mc Williams Hanwood Claret and 1967 Seaview Claret.
Deep onion brown colour with onion brown hue. Earthy nose of prune, new leather and ham hock. The palate is incredibly luxuriously textured. Liquid velvet. Still some fruit lingering; Fig, dried apricots, prunes, craisins and toffee, above new leather and green olive. Earthy back palate. Clean finish; acidity still fresh. Very long aftertaste of prune and dried apricot. Alc Unknown. Curio, not scored.
