Needed the Durand for this bottle, but that is at home in MA, many thousands of miles away. Nose is dusty but still fresh. 😁

Color of an old brick. Nose of saddle leather, ripe cherry, mineral. Palate is very bright, acidity is screaming still, actually improving and not fading; dried cherry, wet slate/minerals. Crazy for 56 years young, I'm going to say this wine easily has 10-20 years left.
