What a stunner, at this age. Stored in a neutral vat and bottled recently? I threw a party for 145 people and opened 12 of these, all showed perfectly. All labels and fills were pristine. Great acidity, minerality, beautiful delicate flowers, green apples, it lasted as long as we could quaff it, and no one wasted their time!

High acid, nice balancing sweetness, showed more youthful than the 76 or 83 tasted along side. Loads of development and a fairly viscous body. Faded quick, would drink within an hr or two. Not a compelling bottle, mid to low level producer but the wine was enjoyable and held up well.

A 1959 Birthday Dinner (Los Gatos, California): Deep yellow. Marred by VA and odd off flavors. Too bad.

Off. Slightly effervescent and acidic. Previous bottle was much better.
