This had perhaps the greatest and most complex nose of the entire tasting, which is saying something given the incredible wines present. Kaleidoscopic aromas of spice, sous bois and a beautifully layered quality that are so splendid that this is difficult to really capture in words. The flavors still carry some of the hallmark '45 tannins yet the structure is perfectly integrated with no trace of aggressiveness or coarseness, all wrapped in a mouth coating and hugely long finish. This is a sensational effort that is still completely vibrant and if no longer youthful, this will undoubtedly live for another 50 years. In short, this is a truly spectacular wine of surpassing grace and harmony.
