  My host is a sceptic about old wines but knowing my more positive attitude took this one out of his cellar for me rather than let it languish there further. I have to admit that on this occasion his scepticism was justified. Level in neck and colour were good but, as well as faint fruit, there was an odour of gas on the nose which attenuated in the glass reminding me of reduction, but that is hardly possible in a wine's 41st year. The palate was faded and quite thin with only little evidence of the round Pinot fruit which must have been there up to a few years ago but there was no oxidation and wine remained drinkable but no longer worthy of its origin.
