February 13, 2007 - Not decanted - cork removed and sat in cellar for around four hours. Clear, reddish brown color - fairly dark. Initially after pouring, lots of barnyard and earth, but that quickly blows off, leaving a perfumed nose of tart cherries, spice and cinnamon. The palate is very similar - dominant notes are dark, sour cherries, along with a streak of minerals. Surprisingly to me (not a lot of experience with older burgs, or burgs in general), the wine still has lots of life left in it. The nose is the best attribute, but there is still a lot of fruit - the acidity seems to be dominant, but there is still power to the finish, and the overall texture of the wine is sort of silky. I don't have a lot of reference points for this wine, but it was pretty enjoyable to this burg novice.

January 27, 2005 - Dinner at Dad's - '78 Burgundy and '73 Valpolicella: Dinner at parents house - Dad opened up two wines he purchased years ago. Little knowledge of producer, vineyard or vintage - we had minimal expectations for the wine. The bottle and label was in perfect shape. Cork was stained and moldy on top.
Deep reddish brown color - much lighter brickish color on edges. Nose of cherries, cola and earth - fairly open. Palate still full of life - dark fruits, earth, mushrooms - a little rustic. Surprisingly, fairly tannic, medium length finish. The wine put on weight over the course of several hours - last taste was the best (about three hours after the bottle was opened). Overall, a pleasant, elegant bottle of wine.
