Loek's birthday lunch and tasting (Restaurant Bak, Amsterdam): Darker in colour than the '53 Troplong-Mondot with a not completely fresh bouquet, but than the taste is quite firm, also a bit dusty and a tad less expressive than the T-M. The aftertaste is good, but there is some age showing in the overall performance; however a very good wine considering its age.

Such a great wine. From a Mähler Negociant bottle with a not perfect level, it was just singing tonight. Camomile, leather, tobacco, great length and richness. Stunning!

Nice fill vhs with opaque brick red color. Very nice mature aromas of old leather, dried leaves, and black spices. The palate showed dark dense dried red fruit qualities that were quite impressive especially given the age, although finished quite dry and a bit rustic with a metallic like edge. Quite good considering the age, although not epic.

Spice, tobacco, forest floor, leaf, earth, gravel and sweet cherry aromas open to a medium/bodied, soft, red berry and spice filled finish. This wine requires drinking.

Beautiful bottle. Fill to neck, though cork was a bit crumbly. The wine was garnet colored and lively, a real pleasure to drink.
