Tasting note: Tasted on nearly twenty occasions since the mid 1950s. A wine that combines richness and charm. Now looking mature and mellow on the nose but still gloriously rich and fragrant; fairly sweet, soft, drinking well but the '47 acidity catching up. Recommended drinking soon. A great classic. M.B.
