1966 Wine and Port Vintage

Pauillac, 1er Grand Cru Classe

*** 96 Points Robert Parker ***
*** 95 Points Wine Journal ***

Reviews
"The wine of the vintage, the 1966 Latour is a classic, old style Bordeaux that has required decades to become drinkable. A dark, opaque garnet color is followed by a fabulous nose of cedar, sweet leather, black fruits, prunes, and roasted walnuts, refreshing underlying acidity, sweet but noticeable tannin, and a spicy finish. This powerful, vigorous, immensely impressive, concentrated Latour has reached its plateau of maturity, where it will remain for another 10-20 years.

"The Latour ’66 remains one of the great wines of the vintage. …

St Estephe 2eme Cru Classe

Reviews: "The 1966 is still dark ruby with a peppery, very spice, yet tight, relatively closed bouquet. The wine is austere and tough on the palate, with good fruit and firm, rough tannins. Comparatively, it is not as massive or as rich as the 1970, 1964, or 1961, but is still backward and austere" PArker Wine Advocate 1996

Margaux 2nd Growth Classification

The 1966 Château Rauzan-Ségla from Margaux is a distinguished vintage from this historic Second Growth estate, offering a glimpse into Bordeaux's traditional winemaking style. Coming from a structured vintage, it reflects both the strength of the terroir and the classic character of mid-20th century Left Bank wines.

Aromas are often layered and nuanced—dried red berries, cigar box, forest floor, cedar, and subtle floral hints are all possible.

Chateau des Fines Roches

Château des Fines Roches, 1966

Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The 1966 vintage in the Southern Rhône produced wines of classical structure and steady ripening, shaped by warm Mediterranean conditions and the region’s distinctive galet-strewn vineyards. During this period, Châteauneuf-du-Pape was crafted in a firmly traditional style — Grenache-led blends aged in large old foudres, designed for gradual evolution rather than immediate richness. Château des Fines Roches, overlooking the appellation from its distinctive château, has long been associated with structured, terroir-driven wines capable of extended bottle ageing. …

Chateau Haut Guiraud

Château Haut Guiraud, 1966

Côtes de Bourg

The 1966 vintage in Bordeaux produced structured, classically proportioned wines, particularly successful on well-sited Right Bank vineyards where Merlot could achieve full ripeness while retaining freshness. In the Côtes de Bourg, overlooking the Gironde estuary, estates traditionally crafted robust, characterful wines designed for steady development. Château Haut Guiraud reflects this approach, offering a mature expression of mid-1960s Bordeaux shaped by patience in both barrel and bottle.

Tasting Notes:
Now a deep garnet fading to brick at the rim, the bouquet is fully evolved and savoury. …

Blaceret Selection Beaujolaise

Côtes du Rhône is a huge appellation in the south of France encompassing 40,300 ha. Plenty of white and rosé wine is produced in Côtes du Rhône but there can be no doubt that red is king. Usually Grenache will dominate the blend (except in the north where Syrah is allowed to be top dog, but these wines are relatively few) and is normally partnered with Syrah and/or Mourvèdre but a further 18 varieties are also permitted! A cheerful example might be light, soft, fruity and easy-drinking, while the finest examples may be full-bodied, concentrated, intense, spicy and ageworthy. But what they all invariably have in common is a fabulous sense of place and lashings of personality and character. …

Bual

John Leacock sailed to Madeira from the United Kingdom (after the death of his father) in 1741 and at the age of 15 became the youngest apprentice at the firm of Madeira merchants, Catanach and Murdoch staying until his contract expired on 11 March 1749. During his apprenticeship he had been in constant contact with an old school friend, John Patient, residing at that time in Charles Town, South Carolina who suggested that they themselves should commence trading. Leacock agreed and this marks the birth of the now world famous company. Bottled in 1994 after 28 years in cask, this totally unique vintage Madeira is sweet, though markedly less so than Malmsey Madeira. …
