Double decanted two days before service. Lots of toffee on the nose. Comes off dry with lots of acid, but there's a good amount of underlying RS. The RS comes out to balance the salt in the dishes it's paired with. Not as dry as 19th century Sercials.

Consumed over five days. Notably better on days four and five. Dark complexion, lower acid than the '37, fig, marmalade and tangerine rind notes. Dark soil notes. Distracting musty notes on the nose for the first two days

By the glass at a restaurant. Quite fresh (also when compared against the 1977 Terrantez). My score may be low.

Deeper and darker sweet spice than the '37. Consumed over 1.5 weeks. Better one week in than upon opening

Dark bitters, sufficient sweetness to balance the acidity, great acid on the finish. 93-94
