Really nice mature bordeaux in good condition. If looking for fault in an old lady it might be the green touch in the nose and the good, but not great length.

Tried the same wine the day before. Loved that wine, but this was a much better bottle.
More of everything; complexity, purity, intensity, very lively, at the same time smooth and lean, ingratiating as sunny autumn day.
More of this, yes! The shining star of the night.

Ap: Clear dark pruple red

Medium body and lean. Sour berries on the palate. The palate drops a little in the middle (but what can you expect from a 70 y old wine). Intense with hich acidity.
Good length

Tasted blind, and I was hugely surprised when it came out as a 1934 portugeese red wine from a not too well-known region for old wines.
