April 4, 2024 - Bottle appeared to be fairly well cellared- (although while the label was not particualry faded, it was held on with a piece of scotch tape). Cork was clean with no seepage. Wine on pour was clear red with some bricking at the rim. Bouquet was slight. Inital taste out of the bottle was somewhat astringent with me thinking there had been significant marsalization.
One day later better but still well over it's prime. It was OK. Still drinkable but I finished the bottle partly out of respect for BS and also drinking a 54 year old wine. Glad I only got the one for a song at auction. -

But I was extremely disappointed... Nose was acceptable: bright cherry fruit, barnyard, cigarbox. But in the mouth there is nothing but rust, ironwater. Dreadful. Biggest disappointment in my wine-loving life! NR.
