"The wine in my glass was a pale, rusty red, browning at the edges, as you’d expect in an older wine. The aroma, with its intimations of tobacco and graphite, suggested a good Pauillac, with an added touch of anise. It was lovely and graceful, tangy and deliciously fresh despite the years, and the flavors persisted in the mouth. Beautiful. It was a 1966 Charles Krug Vintage Selection cabernet sauvignon, the top-of-the-line wine from this historic Napa Valley producer, and if the wine was a great pleasure, I can’t say it was a great surprise . . . . My favorites included the ’66, of course."
