  Opened at noon and just poured two small glasses, the nose was showing some ripe red currants, it tasted quite light with ripe red cherries and a hint of drying tannins, the wine didn't develop much with 15 min in the glass... I thought it was already a performance for a 57 years old Chateauneuf to be drinkable... 88 points
  In the evening, after 10 hours slow oxygenation, I was not expecting much... but it started quite well with a beautifull nose of very ripe red raspberries and strawberries, brown sugar, asian spices, very animal nose... also the taste was beautifull, with sweet raspberries, asian spices and a nice acidity... the wine became better with every glass, and at the end we were fighting for the last sip of this bottle... great wine 94 points!!
