Pretty good for 45 years old bottle. Nose was nice, but only between 60-90min after opening. Taste with minimum tannins, but still fresh acidity and long tail. I thought this will be already undrinkable, but it was much better than some 1er Gran Cru of this age, what a nice surprise

Took 2h of decanting to open up and stayed perfect for next 2h. Very nice sophisticated bouquet, not strong, but rather fine taste without strong tannins, but with long ending. Five more to go from my cellar, but will probably wait at least another 2 years as it probably has potential well beyond 95 points.

Still young. Very nice nose, berries and strong tannins. Delicious, but will wait for 3-5 years to open next bottle.
