Drank at 67 What a lovely pleasant surprise. The wine was cristal clear and still had a lot of life left in it. Classic mature Bordeaux notes with a gentle palate. Lovely.

Acker Holiday Auction (A Voce Madison): Eight years ago there was a note essentially saying this wine's best years were at least 20 years before that. Funny because I'd say it was still drinking fine. It's not a superstar wine and I didn't take as many notes on it as some of the others, but what I had was a bit funky, but nice.

This hit prime time years ago. By the time Duran Duran was topping the charts, I imagine this wine was already slipping into senility. For lovers of tart, tannic, fruitless, charmless, light bodied wine with complex aromatics and no fruit, this wine is for you.
