February 17, 2019 - Opened for my wife's 50th birthday. What a fifty-year old ! (the wine I mean). Stand upright for 24 hours to "loosen cork" and drop sediment, then decanted. Took 10 minutes to clean the bottle for a "presentable" pouring (see images 1-2 of 80), because my wife insisted on serving it to guests in the original bottle. Brick orange. Woody. Hint of dried fruits. And that "bouquet of aging" I don't know how to describe. No brett. Excellent acidity to actually match spicy Southeast Asian cuisine, including green papaya salad. Past prime. But was my wife's favorite bottle for the evening (that also included BV's 1969 George de Latour Reserve and a 1997 (anniversary) Hermitage. Any CdP drinkable at 50 is a cause for celebration. How do you rate this bottle? - vis a vis current vintages or compared with another 50-year old?
