Written Notes

At the 35th anniversary, Wolf himself opened one of his last two bottles of this, the first wine he made for himself He bought one hogshead – 60 gallons – from Viv at Best's, making 250 dozen all up. Amazing any left. The bottle had his signature from the time. And the wine? A privilege to try it but long past its best. A nutty, meaty old thing. Soft, some dry herbs, but old and tiring. It still has some life, which is a great credit, but approaching gentle senility. Wine like this, scoring irrelevant.
