  Definitely on the downhill side, but a lovely 75-year-old wine. Is getting a bit thin.

  Intense nose that still has some fruit left and evolved beautifully with air in the glass. There are flavors of soy sauce, forest notes, and caramel you'd expect from a very old wine, but it never felt tired. The palate is surprisingly fresh and alive with some savory meat flavors, iron, and a bit more red cherry/fruit notes. Long finish. What a pleasure and privilege to taste such an old wine in great condition.

  Wow.
  
  So fresh! 68 years old and pristine level - 0.5cm from cork. I know this wine had perfect storage for its life.
  
  Great nose, raspberries, fruit cake and mature wood. It's just great.
  
  Balance is perfect. Almost sweet yet delicate and moorish.
  
  A classic wine. Which is best? The 1947 or the 1942?

  As fresh as a daisy! Great level - like a new wine. Long decant for 3 hours. Duly mature however totally alive and will last another 50 years for sure.
  
  Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the wine.
