88 Points

Friday, November 19, 2021 - 25 Old Bordeaux grand cru classe - vertical (1920->) and horizontal semi blind wine tasting dinner (Copenhagen (Private)): A semi blind tasting of 25 right and left bank Grand cru Classé wines ranging from Mouton Rothschild to Chateau Cheval Blanc. 2/3 from 1920-1990 and the rest younger.

This wine: Not as good as 1961. Pale tawny. Tertiary but still green pepper. High tannin.
(later on the evening we also tasted a magnum of same vintage - still blind! It was slightly better. I rated the magnum 89: Pale ruby color but with a light rim. (clearly less developed than the bottle which was tawny). Unfortunately a little corked but still worth 89.)
