Great old bottle with a decent fill. Thin, watery, very light and very translucent reddish amber color. Exciting nose. Notes of sweet tobacco, roses, tea leaves, cherries, some raisins and a little. menthol. As old and thin in color as this was, it powered up with structure as it got some air. Has a beautiful old Barolo perfume. After a few hours it began to fade but I can’t complain with how this delivered tonight.

Super classic, roses and sour cherry, persimmon, licorice and sous bois. Would have been wine of the night if not for the rinaldi

Tangy blue and red fruit. Very fresh and precise. Hints of leather and soft dried cherry with herbs. Almost translucent in its clarity but with a little cloudiness. A subtle wine but oddly refreshing. Very good.

It's pre-election day, I figured there couldn't have been a better time for this 😜...

1964: Poured out a bit pale in color, which deepened. Dried flowers and herbs on the nose. Surprising depth of fruit and palate impact. Dried cherries and musky vanilla. Elegant mouthfeel, yet still packing a punch. In the middle of enjoying it now...

A a little bit on the tired side, but still very pretty

Holy shit. Feminine with pure strength. Still young and powerful. Savage and beautiful.
