  July 21, 2022 - Corked. Looked ok, cork seemed to keep its seal, but had that musty, wet cardboard nose and taste.

  December 5, 2016 - Seemed a bit tired when opened, but some air and food worked wonders. Mature claret, not overly complex, but clean, lean and classic in its expression of time and place.

  September 5, 2015 - Another good bottle from the 70's. Opened and decanted 1 hour prior. Cork broke so decanted through a strainer. Very unpleasant nose on decanting, but this had gone by the time we drank it. Colour still bright in the centre and brick red at the rim. Mature Bordeaux flavor with good leangth.

  January 20, 2014 - Rust color, lots of nose..straw, musty. Still very interesting and worth drinking. A little past its prime.

  November 28, 2010 - Drinking this wine was like visiting ancient ruins. There was not much left to tell what it looked like when it was standing. The nose went from musty to weedy with air. It had some fruit left, but no clarity or sense of purpose. I can't say I expected more, but it was still a bit disappointing.
