Drank side by side with a 1982 Doisy and foie gras, blue cheese, and creme brûlée pairings. Enjoyed tremendously as it displayed the caramel and honey notes even though the acidity has gone. Have 1 more bottle that I will drink sometime within the next 1-2 years as the cork pressed through fairly easily but had not impacted any oxidation.

Delicious and fantastic end to a special meal. While clearly mature at over 40 years of age, this wine will still last another 10++ years. Honey, lite caramel and some nice fruit still remains.

As before: creamy, not overly sweet, slight citrus. Still amazed this still has so much life in it

Wow - this has survived and then some. Creamy, dark, not overly sweet, lychee and citrus. Fantastic
