Looks very youthful. I’d guess in the 1980s looking at it. On the nose though there is TCA.What a shame as this is obviously very high quality. (JR)

This is an excellent wine. The 1959 (rated 89 in 1988) was a fuller, richer, more muscular and tannic wine than the 1961. It will easily last through the end of the century.
