Tuesday, May 26, 2020 - Still drinking well after 50 years. In fact, this bottle drank better than the last one I had. Well into the tertiary spectrum. I decanted half and left half in bottle. Surprisingly, the portion in the decanter drank better than that in the bottle after 4 hours. Dried orange peel, leather bureau and cedar spice. Tannin has completely melted away and acidity held in check. A contemplative drink. Paired it with steak. Overpowered by the food. Drinks better on its own or with milder meat like veal chop.
