September 7, 2016 - The cork wasn't in great nick and the wine was quite cheesy with some nutty aldehyde. It actually breathed up quite well and showed notes of root vegetable, beef stock, tart red fruits, woodsy forest floor things and blood. It had good density and persistence. No where near as good a bottle as a recent '80 G.E and I suspect there are better bottles of this out there.

November 9, 2012 - WWS 2012 - a few TNs including DRCs, Coche Dury, Rousseau and others; 11/8/2012-11/11/2012 (Villa D’este, Lake Como): Very pale color. Almost salmon color, not necessarily complex but ethereal bouquet or raspberry essence and delicate flowers. Light and airy palate but beautifully perfumed. Drinking beautifully.

October 20, 2012 - 50th Birthday Celebration Dinner with Wine (Chez Schmidt - Chicago IL): I had low expectations given the bottle showed signs of leakage and was slightly wet around the capsule, plus color was very pale. Smelled terrible, I don't know why I bothered to taste, but it was even worse. Totally faded and oxidized.

September 16, 2012 - Elegant and profound. Slightly edging past it prime but still a monumental example of the 1980 vintage.
