Jun 14th, 2015Drank with Lawton Bloom. The 1955 showed amazing youth. Lots of tart cherry and cranberry. Orange paste. On the palate good fruit for a wine of this age. Almost taste like a 20 year old Pinot, not a 50 year old wine. Good acidity still. Long, long finish. The 2005 was similar but just darker and more fruit driven. Less complex and with higher acidity and tannin.
