October 22, 2018 - That old saying is proved to be true once again, there are only great bottles, not great wines after 20 years of age, let only 60 years of age. I have had better tastings of this treasure and worse. The nose won the show here, with its ripe fruits, flowers, truffle, dark cocoa, tobacco and smoke. On the palate, things fell short, as the fruit faded far too quickly. What little there was offered that beautiful, graceful patina of age, spice, erthand herb profile.

March 17, 2017 - Not as sweet, concentrated or focused as pervious bottles, with wines close to 60 years of age, anything can and will happen. The tobacco, cedar, red plum, spice and truffle nose was a treat. Soft, with the patina of age, there is a rusticity in the finish. If you're lucky enough to own this treat, there is no reason to hold it any longer.

April 19, 2010 - This wine opens to a complex nose filled with pipe tobacco, spice, dark plums, truffles, earth, smoke, leather and floral aromas. Full bodied, rich and packed with silky, velvet textures, this opulent Bordeaux wine finishes with a myriad of dark berries, black cherry and spice sensations.
