January 7, 2023 - Hint of tobacco and cedar. Tasty and savoury. Still in good shape for a wine of this maturity.

June 20, 2019 - A little cloudy so perhaps muddied by suspended sediment, but this shows a nose surprisingly like the 55 - full of just-ready-to-go-off raspberries, mineral, leather, and subtle meaty accents. Delicious in its way, but perhaps not quite correct.

February 22, 2017 - Served blind. Two strong notes initially on the nose: ham and lapsang souchong, that gunpowdery Chinese tea. So strong that initial speculation went to South African syrah before some dried rose noes pointed in the direction of Bordeaux. Clearly past it's best days but enjoyable.

November 21, 2016 - “Bordeaux 1959 – 2014 (blind)”, flight 5, wine 2. A letdown. Weird spice aromas (clove, cardamom and cinnamon) and tobacco on the nose, and red fruit, spices, cardamom, clove and tobacco on the palate, but somewhat artificial and definitely off. I wasn't able to really pinpoint what was wrong. (Berry Bros. & Rudd bottling). NR
