Considering the marginal storage conditions this bottle saw over the years, this was very good. Double-decanted two hours before serving. Deeply aromatic - plum, cedar, burnt sage. A touch coppery in the finish upon opening, the fruit sweetened with air and gained length. Lovely alongside lamb with fennel and onions. I didn't have high hopes for this so really a pleasure all in all.

Nach 60(!) Jahren und perfekter Lagerung einfach nur grandios. Steht da wie 40 Jahre jünger, zeigt immer noch Frucht und Struktur. Beeindruckend!

Still in very good shape. Absolute no signs of tiredness. Rather elegant and medium bodied, smooth tannins, burgundian mouthfeel.
