A much darker color than I would have expected from a 52 year old wine. Powerful, youthful and complex aromas of plums and tobacco. At this point your mind is racing , can the palate equal or exceed the nose because you know if it can you are in for a treat. A very alive , acid driven palate of plums, cherries and tea. Had an old vine creaminess component. After approximately 2 hours the wine started to take on a less open personality.

Soulful & drinking beautifully at the moment. Pitch, berries, deep ripe cherries. Slightly hollow mid leading to an incredible finish. Stunning aromatics. 58 years young.
