One of the best bottles I have had in a while. Garnet. Floral nose. Lots of perfume. Incredible. The elegance of this wine made everyone think burgundy or northern rhone. This was a really great bottle. Shared by SW

The more I taste from 1955, the better I like the vintage, and this bottle once again showed why. The beautiful mix of earth, truffle, cherry pie, plum, smoke and tobacco was a total turn on. But the sensual texture and the ripe, sweet, lusty red fruits, truffle and tobacco in the finish stole the show. If I owned any, I would not hold out much longer, as the wine can only decline from here.

Remarkably youthful and fresh nose of red and blue fruit, violets, coffee and old wood. Full, rich and round in the mouth. Unbelievable flavors and the silky and seamless texture were magnificent. Very long and glossy finish.

Funky nose and initial taste. Not corked. Needed a long decant as it did get better in the glass, just different.
