August 31, 2022 - Degustateurs with 1955 bookends. (Oceanique Restaurant Evanston IL): 3 hour decant and Wow. Lovely on the palate. Long finish to a great night of tasting.

April 7, 2022 - The Last Hurrah; 4/7/2022-4/9/2022 (Seattle, Washington): Light amber-orange in color. Light bodied with red fruit and medium complexity. Some touches of vanilla on the palate, but this bottle is starting to show a few more Tawny characteristics than VP characteristics.
