(Decanted for half an hour) Brick red colour with a mature nose showing ripe black berries combined with lots of tertiary notes of coffee, leather and sous bois in a delicious way. Fully evolved tannins on the mature palate showing leather and with an intense ripe black berries sweetness on the pleasant finish. (Still keeping together very well after 50+ years...)

Smelled off initially but that went away and it was clearly still wine with all tertiary elements going on like earth, etc. The mouthfeel was quite dense and silky though. Interesting for its age although hard to say that it was pleasing per se…

Nose: Dark berries, cherry, tobacco and sweet earth. Slight overripe notes with a bit of roasted plum, charcoal and spice. Overall great nose. Palate: Dense & deep with blackberry, cassis, clove, licorice and earth notes. Tobacco, mint and eucalyptus show up as well. Finish: Grew a bit tired and one note with nice red fruited finish.
Overall an enjoyable wine now. I recommend drinking up if you have these around.

Topp shoulder fill. Korken kom ut i to deler, men ellers fin. Mørk dyp rød kjerne med litt kant bruning, overraskende mørk farge og ville tippet tidlig 90 tall blindt. Aroma av edelt treverk som en god Brunello, litt blyant, solbær Har fremdeles bra frukt og har de samme elementene som på duft. Fyldig vin med god lengde.Best etter en time i åpen flaske. Hyggelig overraskelse dette....

Sweet with fine perfume. Very delicate. Started out a bit tired but picked up so much energy and weight on the palate with the nose getting fuller within an hour. Lots of roses, lilacs, brown spice and ripe cherry. A treat to drink.

Unfortunately past its best. Mushroom and mulch nose and palate was similar.

Left Bank Bordeaux Group Tasting (Chez Matt et Reema): Cork soaked all the way through but came out whole.
Sweet with fine perfume. Very delicate. Started out a bit tired but picked up so much energy and weight on the palate with the nose getting fuller within an hour. Lots of roses, lilacs, brown spice and ripe cherry. A treat to drink.

Medium body, mild expression of black currant and berries, enjoyable.
