Cork crumbled, but I poured it through a filter into a decanter and let it sit for a few minutes. So much more alive than the '78 Figeac I tasted earlier in the week. Just shows you how resilient Tempranillo is. Pretty significant bricking. Delicate nose of stewed figs, a little tobacco and some subtle floral notes I can't put my finger on. On the palate, the fruit is still present -- all raisins and prunes for me -- but very pleasant. The finish is fairly short. Overall a really fun wine and amazing how alive it still is 45 years later.

Very thin. Not much fruit. Not much of a finish. A bit meh. Not the worst QPR, but wouldn't buy it again.
