A fine colour for a 1963. Spicy nose, Some actual fruit. Pleasant coffee grounds and cream notes. The nicest Burmester I have ever consumed.

A metallic copper-orange colour, 20% opaque. Pleasant nose of fruit jellies, sweet tangerine. Fragrant fruit entry, clean with a nice mid-weight fruit jelly and orange water palate. Big tangerine aftertaste with a milk chocolate finish of modest length. Gently lovely. 85/100. Decanted 9 hours.
