Tasted at the Academie du Vin, the 1966 Kirwan was a real turn up for the books. The bouquet was fully mature, animally and perhaps with a bit of brettanomyces in there, bacon fat and cured meats. Yet there are vestiges of fruit tucked behind there and it is very attractive. The palate is medium-bodied, nicely balanced with more fleshiness than I was expecting, especially within the context of an austere vintage. Soft in texture, meaty with an almost garrigue-like finish, this is a lovely old Kirwan that is a pure pleasure to drink, if not intellectualize over. What a pleasure! Tasted April 2016.
