The late Michael Broadbent MW was a huge admirer of 1966, describing it as 'A marvellous vintage declared by 20 shippers...Firm yet flexible wines with perfect weight and balance. Sinewy and long-lasting. Most will almost certainly outlast the '63s, and will probably turn out greater in the end.' Tasted in 2001 he recalled 'dozens of admiring notes' for Graham's 1966 in particular, and suggested it would continue to drink well until 2030.
