  This bottle was great with plenty of life in it. Medium body with no off notes. Cherries and raisins. Stayed delightful across 2 hours. Amazing wine for its age. Thx Bruce.

  It such a great experience to drink a bottle of wine of this age. Astonishing to find out that it still has so much beautiful characteristics. Changes every minute in the glass from sherry to great classic amarone into aged port. I think currently on its return, so don’t wait any longer of you still have bottles in the cellar.

  I think that it is impossible to be fair and give this wine a numerical score. This is a classic example of Jean Trimbach's comment "...after a certain age there are no great wines, just great bottles."
  
  I have had recent bottles that were loaded with brilliant cherries and red flowers. This was not the case here, however this was a beautiful wine and what you would expect from a 52 year old bottle. More like a great aged tawny Port from Graham's or Taylor as opposed to a red wine.
  
  Ruby heart with amber edges, a nose of Christmas; fruit cake, nutmeg, oranges, clove; a wine that went on and on. the mouth was pleasing, not concentrated like some other bottlings, but still delicious. If you have this wine in your cellar it is not going to get better, so drink it up.

  Just really beautiful. Still noticeably Amarone but also soft, fragrant, delicate and supremely elegant. A great bottle of wine.

  Purchased in 2012. Stored perfectly since. Stunning bottle. Perfect cork. 45 min decant. Dare I say fruit forward. This wine tasted no older than 15 years old. This bottle had at least another 15 years of life left. Certainly in prime and has great balance and finish. This exceeded my expectations based on prior reviews. What a great wine to celebrate my 36th birthday with my parents and one of my sisters.
