  Dinner w/Tim and Mary - stunning! Easily the wine of the night. The best 1964 Borgogno I have had, so obviously great storage conditions. 2nd bottle.

  What a great showing for this bottle. Red cap, cork in great shape. Garnet color, with a bit of orange bricking. The nose is mostly tertiary notes, with soil, earth, tea, yet displayed lively notes sour red cherries and rose petals. The nose kept getting better with time in the glass, becoming more and more fragrant as time went on. Soft and complex on the palate, with a persistent finish. An excellent bottle.

  Lovely showing from this grand old King at 59! Drank with friends at Mother Wolf and the wine was as good as I could have expected. Certainly the tannins were resolved, but there was still wonderful light red fruit that caressed your mouth. The bottle just went too fast. Wish I had more, but glad I drank it in all of its glory
