1966 Wine and Port Vintage

Bersano - Half Bottle of 50cl

This 1966 Nebbiolo from Bersano shows the refined elegance and complexity that comes with more than half a century of ageing. The bouquet features aromas of dried cherry, rose petal, tar, leather, tobacco, and subtle hints of cedar, truffle, and forest floor. On the palate it is medium-bodied, with softened yet structured tannins, balanced acidity, and flavours of dried red fruit, earthy herbs, and a gentle savoury minerality. The finish is long, harmonious, and contemplative, reflecting the wine’s mature Nebbiolo character.

Serving Suggestions

Biscardo, Spumante, Sweet Sparkling Red Wine

"Recioto," as in "Recioto della Valpolicella," refers to a dessert wine made from grapes that were dried on mats after picking. This process turns the grapes closer to raisins, concentrating the flavours. The wines are lovely and taste how you'd expect raisins-turned-wine to taste, rich and sweet.

Federico Paternina Reserva Especial

The 1966 Federico Paternina Reserva Especial is a magnificent example of mature Rioja from one of Spain’s most historic and respected bodegas.

Vintage Port
Good level - Bin soiled label

The Sandeman 1966 is a superb port from a classic vintage. The medium garnet colour has held up quite well with some bricking on the rim, but otherwise this wine is still showing youth and it has the backbone for a long life ahead. Complex layers of cocoa and spice with excellent balance and the velvety mouth- feel that gains extra credit.

Comte de Champagne, Champagne

Amongst Champagne's luxury cuveés and super-premium labels, Taittinger's wines live on one extreme end of the style spectrum. While many top Champagnes can be quite difficult to approach in their youth, with laser-like focus and delineation, even austerity, Taittinger instead tends to be immediately open and welcoming. These are beautiful, delicious Champagnes, with bubbles lazily winding their way up to the surface, inviting you to take another sip.

Negrar

The Valpolicella zone is bordered to the west by the Bardolino DOC, located along the banks of Lake Garda, which produces similar wines to basic Valpolicella using many of the same grapes. The historical "heart" of Valpolicella winemaking is in the Monti Lessini hills located northwest of the town of Verona. In 1968, the boundaries of the region were extended far eastward towards the DOC production zone of Soave and south to the plains of the northern bank of the Po river and its tributary the Adige.

Marchesi di Barolo

This wine from the good 1966 vintage is made with the long lived Nebbiolo grape. this is a black-skinned red wine grape variety most famous for creating the 'tar and roses' scent of Barolo wines from Piedmont, north-western Italy. The grape's very name is evocative of its home among the misty foothills of the western Alps; the nebbia (Italian for 'fog') after which it is named frequently arrives on early October mornings, when the Nebbiolo harvest is in full swing.

Vintage Port

Viera de Sousa 1966 Vintage Port is a rare and fascinating wine from one of the more under-the-radar but deeply respected family-run Port producers. The Viera de Sousa family has been involved in winemaking in the Douro Valley for generations, though their name has gained broader recognition only more recently. A 1966 vintage from them represents not just a well-aged Port, but a beautiful piece of family heritage and old-school craftsmanship.

The 1966 vintage itself was a declared year and widely considered excellent — not quite as powerful as 1963, but producing wines of superb elegance, structure, and ageing potential. …
