    November 27, 2022 - God flaske kjøpt hos Blomqvist på auksjon. En pen og salig St Julien med komponenter av rødlig frisk frukt, pipetobakk, jern og luksuslær. Myk og elegant i munnnen med en overaskende nesten fersk og saftig frukt. En sval strøm av behaglige modningspreg. Det som først og fremst sto seg ut med denne var den ungdommelige og friske frukten som reflketerte kvalitetene man ofte finner i en langt yngre vin.

    February 14, 2021 - Un vin qui va arriver à se réveiller pour reprendre de la matière
    Après 40 ans il a toujours de la fraîcheur, toujours de l’énergie
    Les arômes sont délicats, encore de la structure
    Très bon

    October 18, 2018 - Low level fill...First nose is, well let's say, not so inviting. After an hour or so the nose improved, but the wine remained very drying and stale

    July 18, 2018 - From magnum. Still very deep red. Very clear. Still some fruit. Nice balance. Very smooth. Very enjoyable. Allen loved this!

    Drank at a 1970s bordeaux vertical at The Point, KL

    August 15, 2016 - Blackcurrant fruit still hanging in there, backbone more acidic than tannic, but there’s a muddy/dull edge to the finish. With air there’s a bit of a not-so-pleasant bretty note. Others liked more. C+/B-
