Magnum – 62 remaining! Disgorged October 2012. Wow, quite incredible nose. Fantastic, star fruit and mature cheddar. Goes far beyond any champagne experience I can think of. Strong redolence of Hunter Semillon – honey, toast, citrus. Amazing. Slight leaf litter and mushroom notes. Not at all oxidative. Feels like it could age indefinitely. (RH)

The 1976 Salon combined elements of the taut house style with an extra dimension of fatness from bottle age. The wine was rich and energetic, with tons of length and pretty notes of tar, smoke and licorice that lingered on the finish.
