  October 29, 2017 - The bottle was stored in the refrigerator the last two days, and opened to reflect back on 71 years of memories. Not quite as vibrant and floral as when first opened. Nose of orange, honey, raisin bread, and coco, paired with chocolate, same on the palate, big body, less intense, almost as rich, still elegant, less mouth filling, delicious tasting, and a long, long, flavorful finish of thirty seconds.

  January 22, 2015 - Beautiful burnt almond colour. Honey, caramel, coffee, chocolate, dried figs, gorgeous balanced acidity and sweet fruit. This will last a very, very long time. Stunning wine.
