Calvados 1958

As close to perfection as can be..,, smooth, silken, 2-minute finish. Nose of ripe, preserved, wrinkled apples…complete, complex, hints of baking spices, lighter than anticipated, but packing that 80 proof wallop. I anticipate most of bottle will grace a cool winter evening in front of the fire for 2 couples! — 3 years ago

Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 1958

This may not be the mostly purely delicious wine I’ve ever had (though it is up there) but it’s undoubtedly the most impressive. Vibrant purple in the glass, shockingly primary for 60 year old wine. Stunning fruit and structure. Clearly this is immortal — 7 years ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 1958

A reticent nose but not dead . With some time it opened up with leather , forest floor, florals and balsamic scents. Another wine with more than adequate acid to allow a wine to go the distance.
Red fruit , earth and coffee all neatly preserved for 60 years.

@Ira Schwartz Truly amazing! I tried to explain to someone that wine "is alive" they didn't get it.....Cheers!

@Dawn Emory I find with these very old wines there are always debates regarding “alive”. When you have that discussion with an individual who has not had the opportunity to sample wines with this amount of age it can be a difficult concept for a newbie to grasp.

Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 1958

Wonderfully intense fruit. Dark, gamey and with a sour cherry underbrush thing. Leaner but very pure and long. Tangy. Leather and a Smokey drive at the end. Excellent. — 8 years ago

Unbelievably great showing of a 65 yo Napa wine! Distinct from old Bordeaux - nice toasted oak notes persist fully integrated with dark fruit. A tue delight to have tasted! — 3 years ago

Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 1958

This is staggering. What a bottle. Dark in color with delicate bricking round the edges this is pretty much a perfectly stored bottle. A gorgeous intense nose of plum, wild flowers. Balsamic, iodine, spice. So clear and pure. The palate has glycerin and gorgeous resolves but intense fruit. In every way this is stunning — 5 years ago
