Rounded and ripe, nice weight, hint of tannin, good condition.
Lively, a bit light and tight. Until 1996?
Half bottle. Ripe, rounded, pleasant, a very successful 1964 left bank wine.
A sturdy wine in good shape.
Lovely mature colour; still good weight, good fruit and balancing tannins.
Not completely bricked through, reddish core; coffee and cocoa, ripe and pleasant on the palate, in good condition.
Nice, mature colour; light, smooth, lively, flavoursome, pleasant.
Nice enough, light, nothing special.
Lovely mature colour; aromatic, well-structured and sturdy on the palate; quite amazing quality.

Stalky, tannic, lacks flesh and ripe fruit.
Suprisingly good; smooth, lively, light, healthy.
Relatively masculine, good weight, good wine.
Very mature appearance; little nose; very light, slightly edgy acidity.
Good mature colour; slightly faded on the nose; on the palate lively and flavoursome.
Good colour, still quite deep; vinosity and vanilla, lively and flavoursome, good weight, very successful wine.
Very light, very mature colour; faded, acidity and tannins are starting to dominate, hint of cheeserind.
Bricked through; sickly nose, coffee, very light, edgy acidity, no length.
Good colour; well-balanced, fresh, fleshy. Now - 2000.
Mature, very light, a bit tight.
Light, mature, pleasing, certainly not GC level but a nice lunch wine.
Catalogued as "Believed 1951". Good nose, vinous; slightly edgy acidity but not bad at all, nice surprise.
Powerful, creamy texture, well-constructed, excellent potential.
Mature but lively, lovely fruit and acidity.
Fullish, smooth, in a lovely place right now, low acidity, very nice. Is it a bit slick?
Good weight, well-structured, excelent ripe fruit, GCC quality in this vintage.
Seems fully mature, light for L-B, slightly disappointing.
Excellent HBL: soft, good weight and structure, well-balanced, lovely acidity.
Pleasing, light, smooth, mature, good balance.
