Magnificent at 55 years. Fantastic fruit and acid balance- so perfectly balanced, I'll bet it's got another 20 years . Impressive and 100 pts in my book

Pretty cool for 53 years old. Fruit still hanging on with a great herbal tone. It gained weight as it got air over the course of a three hour dinner.

Cool wine! Little over the hill and sherry-esque but still plenty of dried fruit, truffles, and black tea to make it enjoyable.

Incredíble youthness for a 54 year wine. Evolved and changed like a chameleon for over 3 hours, from delicate decayed roses to intense red fruit aromas. How can it be???
