Mature Cote de Beaune: 1959 to 1990 (Langham Place Hotel, Mongkok, Hong Kong): Half-glass drank at a pre-dinner tasting. then with some top-ups over dinner. Transparent and very youthful in appearance. Nose is absolutely gorgeous.......perfumed, nail varnish, Barolo-like.....lovely. Palate is very approachable and drinking at or near its peak. Resonant......strawberries and sous bois. Very moreish. I would love to drink this again as a single bottle over dinner. Not sure why I didn't rank this higher - my 5/12, Group's #1.

Tasted in the cellar. Dark red with clear edge. Tar and overripe fruit, then walnuts and orange peel. Liqueur-like! Tastes of strawberry and tar, very fruity and well structured. Remarkable!
