August 22, 2019 - Even at 90 years of age, this still has a lot to offer. Light in body, the wonderful nose was filled with Asian spice, flowers, tobacco leaf and fresh white, crisp cherries. With soft, silky textures, but not much weight, the wine retains some sweetness in the lifted red fruits found in the finish.

July 15, 2018 - Tasted blind. Rusty garnet red color, amazing for a wine of this age. Nose of skittles candy and sweet cocoa powder. Tartness at varying levels on a strawberry confectionary background defines this wine. I thought it was aged Burgundy. Fantastic.

December 3, 2010 - Christmas Icons Sampling (The Sampler, London): An experience for sure.mild of course the best years of the palate are behind it. The nose is interesting though with nice liquorice notes. Very much ok for a 80yr old bottle variation and aging needs to be taken into account here of course. But for Cos Groupies like us this was definitely a moment of joy.
