From a 750mL bottle. Popped and poured; opened with the assistance of a Durand and enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 1955 pours a deep bronze color with a golden rim and a transparent core; high viscosity. On the nose, the wine is vinous with fascinating notes of wild flowers, nuts, dried apricots, dates, peach cobbler and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is sweet with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and not at all cloying. What beauty and balance! This is still so full of life…wild! A huge surprise as I have no information on this producer. Drink now through 2055+? — 2 years ago
A beautiful if restaurant-over-priced Cornas (embarrassed to say $$) that was stunning in its elegance and purity, haunting in its smooth entry and blood/iron notes, and loooonnng finish with grapey not woody tannins. Needs 3-5 yrs. — 6 years ago
