Popped another one of these for my Mom's bday, and it was just as good as the last one. Incredible wine that will legit live to infinity. And just for fun....I added a picture of the cork (in good shape and normal size ;)

I 1000% agree with Michael's note below - it was SHOCKING how young this wine showed! Honestly, double blind you'd probably call this as a mid-2000's vintage. He nailed the TN and I honestly don't have anything else to add. 2 bottles left that I'm in no hurry to open as these should live to infinity!

Incredibly youthful, you can't believe the label says 1955. And the dark color confuses you even more. Bright fruit on the red/dark red side of things, tons of soil character, floral notes, bright acidity, and an epically long finish. I don't usually go for wines this old, but this was truly an enjoyable bottle and worth the tariff if you can find it.
