May 7, 2017 - Great nose, phantastic sweetness, silky, still red berries, I guessed Burgundy, great length and concentration, nicely balanced, a gem

May 1, 2012 - From a bottle that was never moved from its cold Bordeaux cellar, tea in color with earth, cigar box, tobacco, ash and light cherries. Light on the palate, with a tart, cherry finish, it was still a treat drinking a wine close to 100 years old.

November 26, 2008 - Filling level was mid shoulder. Wine must have been wrappd up in a newspaper and stored in a fairly humid cellar, as newspaper print were visible all over the label. Still quite a nice ruby colour with brown edging, not very intense though. Fair amount of oxidative flavours, reasonably balanced but tannins drying out. Still drinkable though.
