Holy Sh&t! One is always nervous when they open a bottle that is 50 years old. I knew provenance and storage was pristine. The color was spot on. The nose is a symphony of fruit. The palate is as if one was drinking marmalade that provides a sensation of sweet and sour notes. Opulent but pure velvet in the mouth providing an endless finish. Perhaps what was most astounding was the freshness. This wine is immortal!
