Sunday, September 21, 2014 - I must have owned this bottle for getting on 20 years. I've had a BBR bottling of this vintage before but not the chateau bottled. Upper shoulder. Fully mature colour with amber rim and garnet core. Weedy blackcurrants, rosehips and a touch of other red berries on the nose. A little thin at first but it developed well over 2 hours in the decanter into a classic red fruit, rounded and now fully mature 1970. Good rather than great, a touch on the light side for the vintage but classic all the same.
