In a lovely space...everyone was really pleased with this. It paired beautifully with Stilton, salted mixed-nuts, and most things on our charcuterie board. I have one bottle left, and see no reason why it could not continue to age another decade plus, but it is in a beautiful spot right now.

Medium caramel in color, somewhat exuberant nose of walnuts and other mixed nuts. Great acidity on palate, with (as everyone seems to get here) orange zest, mixed nuts, caramel. Finish of walnuts that lists for minutes. Quite young and very fresh. This has decades ahead. What a treat.

Very impressive. Still has great acidity to balance the sweetness. Entry is on orange peel and the finish is nutty. Very long and delicious. None of our invitees ate cake (except one maybe) they all decided to just sip on this as we listened to Edith Piaf. A very memorable experience. This was the wine of the night
Light brown, and much lighter than the 1933 tasted same evening. Also sweeter and less tannic than the 1933. Seems to contain more white grapes. It also lacks the rancio notes of the 33. Anyway, a great Rivesaltes with plenty of fruit and intense concentration.

Impressionné par la jeunesse de ce vin ! Une acidité encore tellement vivante, un fruit si présent, c'est incroyable la longévité de ce vin. Un équilibre parfait, sucre bien dosé. Peut rester en cave encore quelques décennies sans problème. J'ai ADORÉ !
