Very evolved nose, brown sugar, loads of leather, sous-bois mushrooms... Took 30 min to open up in the glass with beautifull aromas of sandalwood, cigar box, roasted meat, loads of leather and completely integrated tannin... Very nice wine at 54 years of age!!

Plenty alive with prefect provenance from Bern's frigid cellar, this was really quite lovely. Deep but delicate, with red fruits, dried flowers, and herbs with a dash of acidity. Certainly at peak or perhaps a touch past it, but not even remotely tired. This was really charming and surprised to the upside.

Good soil tones, with limited remaining fruit and acid. Took on a brownish character after 45 minutes but enjoyable up until that point. Drink now. 88-
