From a mid neck bottle. On the nose, old Pinot fruit, VA and violets. Dusty character. Rich, full and tasty on the pallet. Sweet fruit still. Incredible, rich finish. Lingered on the tongue. I could drink this every day! Maybe slightly past it's peak.
Very low fill around 6cm from an old French cellar. The nose initially shows some mushroom and iron but that quickly fades into wild flowers, red fruit, blood orange, dark fruit, tea, and coffee. Palate expresses alluring an extra layer of sweetness and depth with each new pour. Very sexy with moderate acidity. The subtle intensity and great length have left memorable print on my palate. Superb. 94+

CC. Bottle from Drouhin auction purchased for HK$160k. Guess provenance does matter. Crazy lift aromatically. Orange peel and coffee on fully resolved but so sweet and intense palate. Wow.

Another example of why it pays to wait a long time to drink even reasonable vintages, like 1964.
The hand-stamped serial number was 05197.

Beautiful bottle. Light, elegant. Ruby red fruit with lofty spice notes.
