1955. One of the best wines I've ever tasted. This is the 1955 vintage, so only my mom and dad are older than this wine, and it was everything I dreamed it would be. The nose was like the dead pine needles you step on in Vermont in the summer. I would wear this wine like cologne. Despite being 60 years old, it still had some tannins left in it, and it actually got better the longer it was open. I feel privileged to be in the same space this wine was opened.

Nose of stewed fruits, still some sweetness. Short finish a bit austere. Past prime drinking window but still enjoyable.
