An afternoon with friends: First a Lafite Rothschild 1961 (my and my colleague’s vintage). Opening it was a delicate affair. The cork was very shaky as it had never been recorked. But the fiddling and decanting were worth it. It was wonderful to drink. Fragile aromas, somewhat medicinal, long finish. It remained stable over the entire drinking period and even gained a little with the air, which is by no means a matter of course for a wine of this age.
For dessert, we had a Vegas Robaina Unicos 2000 from a box signed by Don Alejandro and a Monte 2 from 2012. It was a successful and entertaining afternoon with great conversation and lots of enjoyment.

Ein Nachmittag mit Freunden: Zuerst ein Lafite Rothschild 1961 (mein und des Kollegen Jahrgang). Ihn zu öffnen war eine delikate Sache. Der Korken war sehr morsch, da er nie rekorkt wurde. Aber die Fummelei und das dekantieren haben sich gelohnt. Er war wunderbar zu trrinken. Fragile Aromen, etwas medizinal, langer Abgang. Er hielt sich über ich die gesamte Trinkdauer stabil und gewann durch die Luft sogar noch etwas, was durchaus nicht selbstverständlich für ein Wein dieses Alters ist.
Zum Dessert gab es eine Vegas Robaina Unicos 2000, aus einer von Don Alejandro signierten Kiste und eine Monte 2 aus 2012. Das war ein gelungener und kurzweiliger Nachmittag mit tollen Gesprächen und viel Genuss.
