"I had never previously tasted the 1977 Martha’s Vineyard, and the wine turned out to be a superb example at its apogee of drinkability. The bouquet is deep and utterly enchanting, as it wafts from the glass in a beautiful mélange of cassis, warm berries, cherries, eucalyptus, woodsmoke, herbs and a lovely, complex base of soil. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and focused, with a seamless palate impression, a lovely core of red fruit, melting tannins, excellent grip and superb complexity on the long, focused and refined finish. A terrific vintage of Martha’s Vineyard, and a wine to keep an eye out for at auction, as the quality of this wine far exceeds its reputation."
