Don't you wish we aged like wine?

Had a 1970 Palmer at Paul Manno's last night with some good friends. This 2nd growth Bordeaux from Margaux was truly amazing wine - very youthful in appearance with a fragrance that instantly brought smiles to our faces. Beautifully silky and complex on the palate, with cassis, dark cherry, cedar, tobacco leaf and an earthy minerality. This 41 year old wine may not even be at its peak - incredible!
Manno's, as always, was superb!
