Jim Westby

1981 "Limited Library Release." A little decayed at the beginning, but then cedary and elegant. Good acidity with the texture you hope for in old wine. Long, long finish, firm, almost chalky, and then the sense of decay comes back and lingers. Definitely not Bordeaux. Last glass best an hour and a half after decanting.
