Mature bottles of the 1955 vintage showcase the full beauty and depth of long bottle aging.

Aroma: A dense, expressive bouquet of walnuts, tobacco, smoky cassis, wet stone minerals, cedar, leather, and truffles.

Palate: Dark ruby/amber-rimmed, medium-bodied, and incredibly silky. It delivers concentrated flavors of sweet black plum, mocha, and earthy forest floor.

Structure: Completely resolved, melted tannins balanced by fine acidity. The finish is legendary—seamless, gritty yet polished, and exceptionally long.

Collector's Notes

Drinking Window: At over 70 years old, this wine is at its absolute peak (apogee). Well-stored bottles continue to hold up beautifully with zero hard edges
