55 years, this wine was showing great. Still hints of fruit and dried apricots.

Took about 30 minutes to open up. Amber color, some earth, tobacco and nice finish.

Remarkably brilliant ruby color, Smokey nose of dark fruits and leather, rich smooth almost juicy flavors of red and dark fruit - simply amazing for a 54 year old wine.

Soft, very good wine. Not a known producer but a great wine for its age. Enjoyed it. Cork was in great shape.
