  February 29, 2020 - Matts 50th; 2/28/2020-3/2/2020 (Costa Brava): Tobacco, farmyard, fully tertiary nose, a bit of graphite, some fruit on the palate, austere and old school, alive but clearly on the downward slope

  October 18, 2015 - Retailer tasting (@ GT in R): Mature bouquet with tobacco, coffee and old cassis. On the palate very mature with still some leftovers of cassis, earth, tobacco, mushrooms and oaky flavors. Good acidity and bitterness. Past its prime, but still pleasurable. No score.

  October 21, 2014 - This bottle of 1970 Branaire Duluc-Ducru opened with tobacco, cedar, coffee and spice filled aromatics. Medium bodied, soft in texture, the wine ends up little to fast.. Over the top...
