Golden tawny in color with a good cherry and sassofrass attack that showed excellent purity of fruit. The fruit has faded a good bit from the body of the wine which allows some heat to be percieved mid-palate, but a nice clean finish allows this old-fellow to proclaim that it surely is still alive and well. By about five decades, the oldest American wine I've had, a real piece of rare American wine making history, an absolute priveledge to get to share in. Superb in my book!
