Incredible nose. Purple fruit, earth, mushrooms and violet. The palate was initially thin, but quickly filled out over about one hour. Amazing balance and depth with deep color. Started to fall off a bit after two hours. What an experience from a perfect bottle.

I might never see this wine again, but the memory is going to linger for years. The nose shoots out of the glass with its dried flowers, smoke, liqueur, cherry, truffle, and smoked cigar nose. The palate remains full, deep, and concentrated, and even though it is fully mature, the wine is surprisingly soft, lush and continues to express its once, probably opulent character. If you can find a well-stored example, grab it and invite me to taste it! Drink from 2023-2033.

A softer wine than the '47. White pepper, light floral and dusty soil notes on the nose. Softer and lighter fruit. Engaging palate but without the last degree of complexity of the '47. 94-95

53 flight. Best of the trio, young, lifted dark fruit, so balanced. Not large but elegant. 93-94
