Nice nose. Plum and underbrush with roses and dried apricot. Very clear with a hint of band aid and great purity with a slightly bitter black pepper note near the end. Very soulful and clear. Excellent

Oct 10th, 2024So special to get a chance to drink this but it was a bit beyond its optimal drinking window a little dried out and faded, a bit disappointing alas

Feb 24th, 2016Bought over 15 yrs ago from the winery... a little funk on opening and then the wine just got better and better like a freight train... a great 60 yr old bottle that belied it’s age and probably will go strong for another 20 yrs

Apr 10th, 2021Truffle, earth, rose, olive, and some slight cherry on finish. 55 years old, no matter the technology this taste and smell cannot be replicated without waiting 50 years. Think of all the things that have happened since this was bottled. A special, memorable experience.
