Dinner at Richard B's: We pulled this bottle from his cellar, with the expectation that there wouldn't be a lot left in this wine. Wow, were we pleasantly suprised. The wine was mellow and mature, but still had ample fruit and that charctaristic Margaux elegance. It was a super bottle and testament to how long wine can age is stored properly. I don't believe that 1956 was considered to be a particularly exciting vintage either.
