  Pulled from an OWC in great condition. Beautiful fully mature bottle of DRC Riche without any notes of decay. Smooth, easy-going and a pleasure to drink.

  PR 1969 Extravaganza: Delicate aromatics - stalks, redcurrant and earthy ash notes. Savoury on the palate, there is some red fruit flavour as well. Definitely time to drink based on this as everything is pretty much resolved.

  Decanted for an hour and enjoyed over the next two. Possible this would have improved with more air, but overall it was good yet outclassed by the G-E, which was more elegant and balanced. While this is a big, powerful wine, I felt the caramel and wood overtones were distracting and didn't enjoy it as much as the G-E as well as a '69 Bouchard Caillerets which were both more enjoyable. B+/A-?

  Rustic, meaty aromas, took time to clear up. High acidity palate, but also ripeness and depth of this plot. Masculine. (7465/13569)

  Awesome nose that has pine spice, smoky earth, and leathery red cherry. Surprisingly fresh and a quick swirl yields a bouquet of red and blue fruit. Some tertiary notes of echinacea. On the palate the red berry fruit is sweet and has a soily texture and beautifully integrated tannin. Really happy with this. Comparable with the rest of the flight ('83 and '72 LT and '76 Riche) in terms of youth and development. An outstanding bottle of wine.
