Année bien réussie, très joli cadeau à offrir dans sa caisse bois.
" Very good food and an intriguing group of wines enjoyed with good friends resulted in an enjoyable evening. Perhaps the most shocking wine (an inexpensive Bordeaux I have consistently recommended as a “good buy”), was the magnum of 1952 Château Recougne, which was brilliant. The wine still possesses good density, lively fruit, lots of complexity (cedar, earth, herbs, and spices), and a full-bodied richness. It is amazing how this wine, which is usually aged totally in tank or old wood, has held up. It was younger, more vital, and richer than the 1961, which was considered to be a greater vintage. The 1961 Recougne is an interesting Bordeaux as it never went through malolactic fermentation. The acids were higher because of that, and while that has kept the wine alive, it displays nowhere near the depth, concentration, or complexity of the 1952.
