  November 18, 2023 - Just a great treat for friend and I. Surprising still has life to it. Cork was in excellent shape. Some forest floor notes and light cigar box still apparent. Really enjoyable .

  June 30, 2021 - An upper shoulder bottle bought several months ago in auction along with a '70. I was going to keep it until 2017 but despite a good label the corroded capsule and slightly pushed out cork made me decide the sooner the better. I needn't have worried as the cork came out in one with the butlers friend and the perfume filled the room. I knew immediately that I was in for a treat. 1967 was a light and beautifully balanced flavorful vintage and I drank quite a number of them in the 80's and 90's; including Petrus and Latour. Latour was the best of the left bank and I'd love to find a bottle at a sensible price - I used to pay £50! Dream on. Colour is light brick orange, perfume that puts many a Ch Margaux to shame, body light but impeccably balanced with fully resolved tannins that still provide just the right amount of backbone. Long and moreish finish. A remarkable survivor and well kept bottles will live another decade without recorking. Chapeau to Anthony Barton for the quality of cork used in an under rated vintage. From a technical perspective the score would be 90 but emotionally, for the memory and most importantly sheer enjoyment I'd give 95 plus. You can't put a number on a wine like this. P.s. opened to celebrate the agreement to buy a beautiful AMV8.

  July 29, 2020 - BBQ late Jul 2020: medium-high shoulder fill; cork could be pulled as one piece; dark raspberry juice like color; in the nose red cherries and berries mingled with a TCA-like flavor; in the mouth TCA-like notes, while the wine showed a nice juicyness and crisp acidity on the palate; light body.
  
  Sadly this LB 1967 bottle was at the end of his lifespan. However, flawed bottles always offer interesting wine teaching experiences.
  
  TCA = 2,4,6-trichloro anisole

  May 13, 2016 - Medium dark purple color, not much nose. Light tannins, thin fruit, obviously well past prime but still drinking fine. Still some life left, barely but still there.
