As close to perfection as can be..,, smooth, silken, 2-minute finish. Nose of ripe, preserved, wrinkled apples…complete, complex, hints of baking spices, lighter than anticipated, but packing that 80 proof wallop. I anticipate most of bottle will grace a cool winter evening in front of the fire for 2 couples! — 3 years ago
This may not be the mostly purely delicious wine I’ve ever had (though it is up there) but it’s undoubtedly the most impressive. Vibrant purple in the glass, shockingly primary for 60 year old wine. Stunning fruit and structure. Clearly this is immortal — 7 years ago
A reticent nose but not dead . With some time it opened up with leather , forest floor, florals and balsamic scents. Another wine with more than adequate acid to allow a wine to go the distance.
Red fruit , earth and coffee all neatly preserved for 60 years. — 8 years ago

1958, tasted on 7 February 2018. Still great structure, and rich aftertaste, with comes back several minutes after swallowing. Light mushrooms aroma, great with foi gras — 9 years ago

Unbelievably great showing of a 65 yo Napa wine! Distinct from old Bordeaux - nice toasted oak notes persist fully integrated with dark fruit. A tue delight to have tasted! — 3 years ago
This is staggering. What a bottle. Dark in color with delicate bricking round the edges this is pretty much a perfectly stored bottle. A gorgeous intense nose of plum, wild flowers. Balsamic, iodine, spice. So clear and pure. The palate has glycerin and gorgeous resolves but intense fruit. In every way this is stunning — 5 years ago
Love this one!
