Monday, June 19, 2017 - What a positive surprise. Very much alive and very elegant. Served it blind and oldest guess was 82. When told that we were not in the 80'ies guesses moved to 90'ies. Says it all.

Although, MS is not abnormal for a bottle that age, I’m a little wary of such low fills. I had an absolutely stunning 1970 Giscours with a MS fill once in 2020, but I think that was not normal. Add another 10 years to a bottle, and I think a MS fill is asking for big trouble. It’s hard to say, though. Thanks again!
