My sixth bottle with mostly low scoring. Felt this bottle was out of condition hence indicate flawed.

Medium nose with notes of wet leaves, spices, toast, dried black fruits. Medium acidity and tannin. Will not improve further. Drink up.

The wine looks garnet colored. It smells like strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, cranberry, raspberry, red currant and black currant (cassis). It tastes like mushroom and toast.

Still 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.

Drank 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!

Mid shoulder fill. The wine was clearly Pauillac. Spices, minerality, iodine, tobacco, very little sweetness left. I should have drank it 10 years ago.

Elegant and lovely Pauillac aromas with dark berries, tobacco, pencil, iodine and leather. Soft and elegant on the palate. Lacks some concentration.

Fruity and cool Pauillac aromas with dark berries, graphite, iodine and leather. Seemless and elegant on the palate. Lacks some power and concentration compared with the best vintages.

I have followed this wine over 25 years. In the beginning it was quite simple, and did not justify the price. The last 15 - 20 years it has, however, had consistently good quality, though missing on the concentration. It has developed very slowly, and he future seems bright.

Medium garnet in colour. Medium nose with notes of wet leaves, spices, toast, cooked black fruits. Medium acidity and tannin. Give it more time for aeration and the fruits will surface. The wine was rested for around 2 hours before opening up.

Another really nice bottle. Still some fruit left, well balanced with slightly pronounced acidity. A little thin but good length. Nice!

26 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

Fully 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.

Bright 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.

There are no good vintages this old, only good bottles.

Cork was in tact but close to breaking down completely. Open and gently decanted removing light sediment. 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.
All in all, it should have been drank a decade ago. My mistake, just would have enjoyed with more fruit.

Jeff Leve’s Nov 2018 note still was spot on for me one year later.

Light bricking, little sediment. Fragrant nose of red plum, smoke, cedar and a floral element. Medium full body, crisp red fruit, sweet and tart on the palate, along with some leather . Single decant, immediately open, lovely bottle.

Complex and exciting on the nose with spice, soil and cedar. On the palate supple, elegant and balanced with sweet juicy fruit, tobacco and some earth. Not very long and powerful but enjoyable and a pleasant surprise!!

High 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.
