  What a contemporary witness. This wine from a Burgundy bottle! is 115 years old and stands with much charm and fine character wonderfully in the glass. Orange-brown with brick-red core. The colour is clear and cimely transparent. The nose is fine, somehow fragile and yet beautiful. An enchantingly fine sweet fragrance flows from the nose, a mixture of the remains of a red fruit and flowers (rose hip, a hint of raspberries, figs on the one hand and rose petals and mallows on the other). On the palate also very fine and subtle, perhaps not quite the complexity of the nose. The play of very fine sweetness (with only a hint of malt) and subtle tertiary and fruity notes is nevertheless a fantastic experience. Tea flavoured with orange blossoms, mallow tea, a hint of strawberries, then fine, delicately sweet gingerbread spices, a little iron rust. All in all transparent and fine, fragile, but still with astonishing freshness and a very mature, harmonious acidity. Ends long and fine. Great wine - great experience.
