4/16/2023 - Fuel55 Likes this wine: 91 pointsStill viable. Took 45 minutes to balance out once decanted but then was soft, mature and lovely for about 90 minutes before starting to decline. Quite light and not too Mouton-like but lovely nonetheless for a wine this old from a minor vintage. |

8/13/2022 - AFM87 Likes this wine: 95 pointsDrank over the course of a couple hours incl. grilled veal chop dinner. Quick decant for sediment. Notes of leather, umami, smoke, salt, black currant, blackberries, pomegranate. Got better and better as the night wore on. A great example of what a top winemaker can do in an OK vintage. Great QPR at auction! |

9/1/2018 - Kim Gerner Likes this wine: NR26 Old Bordeaux grand cru classe - vertical (1938-1990) and horizontal semi blind wine tasting dinner (Fredriksberg): Better than Mouton '78. Still lots of power, significant green bell pepper and tannins. Excellent bottle. No ratingnote |

12/25/2020 - TS Likes this wine: 92 pointsFully mature and will not develop positively anymore. Has probably seen better days, but still some nice primary flavours left. A bit lean with fully resolved tannins. Is in its slow decline, no need for a hasy emptying of you stocks. |

12/19/2020 - Jmwestiv Likes this wine: 95 pointsBright acidity from the cool vintage still holding this together, fine sediment. Immediate reductive note gave way to a warm almost smoked oak note on the nose and all cigar box and cassis in the palate. |

We poured into our glasses and it had very little nose, only light oak. Waited 15-20 minutes and the wine certainly calmed down and you could taste light berry and sage.

11/12/2018 - Jeff Leve wrote: 88 pointsHigh tones, medium/full bodied, with more interesting things going on in the nose, with its spice filled, tobacco, cedar, red plum, smoke and leafy aromatics than on the crisp, red berry, sweet and tart palate. No decanting needed, this requires drinking as the fruit is already in a slow state of decline. |
