Saturday, July 23, 2022 - Decanted an tasted over three hours.
Cork was wet an seepage was on the bottle.
Bought on a auction with other wines, this one was in the badest condition.

The nose
Not much to give in, a little sweet Apple, oak, pineapple. The nose has faded alot

The palate:
Orange, pineapple, lemon, kind of like multi juice. Roasted or almost burnt almonds.
Very high alcohol with sharp acidity.

It got better with a decant - more to smell and softer to drink.
You could taste that it had a certain age but no way 46 years, more like 20-25 years. I was afraid to keep it for too long, because of the cork issues. It also did had a little wet carpet to smell, but faded out, during the decanting.

I'm 91 Points on this - If the wine didn't have cork issues, it could last for some years extra. Maybe another 10-15 years. I know for sure that my Chateau Coutet 76' would do, because of the way better condition.
