So maybe I'm not the only one who is not as impressed as the rest of these tasters are. I found this wine to be very interesting and at 55 years of age to be really something. What I didn't taste was a lot of complexity until the wine was at the very end of the bottle. Fascinating that it finished very dry and most of the sugar has resolved itself into the acid. solid experience and this bottle was shipped X cellars. enjoyed with salt and pepper shrimp and chong qing Sichuan chicken. I wouldn't decant it but I would let it chill in the glass for as long as you can stand it. A nice treat.

Rich and developed, notes of sherry and honey, really quite complex. Palate is a myriad of sugary dark notes. Not exactly sure what. Long aftertaste. Sweet. Really interesting but I would probably chose a spätlese riesling before this one.

A Night at Bullion (Bullion, Dallas, TX): Decanted for 1h. Aromas of rich honeyed pears, honeyed Meyer lemons, cinnamon and other baking spices. Palate was not as sweet as the aromas, more along the lines of a demi-sec. Ripe apples, just ripe pears, hint of vanilla, nice bitter pith that brings balance. Nice finish of medicinal fruit. Complex and lovely. 93+

This was opened by a friend about 4 hours prior to drinking. The wine had so many changes throughout the 4 hours I had with it. This bottle level was pristine, obtained from a casino resturaunt about 5 years ago. Light golden without any brass, just slightly more hue than the more recent vintages I've had in the past. The viscosity and mouthfeel were awesome. The nose evolved, regressed, changed several times over 4 hours. Sometimes having a damp , musty, autum leaf angle, the. For a bit would have crisp, citrus, myer lemon with a hint of sugar. And many layers in between. Definiy the most interesting wine of the night. Lots o' fun to drink and talk about.

1961 vs 1982 Bordeaux (Boston): Acidic. Fruit is nice, but fading.
