Between the 67, 71, and 76, the 71 started off as the group's least favorite and I can understand that as it is admittedly the least overtly sweet. But I loved its athleticism, its tertiary smoky notes, the white flower. With time, I think this grew considerably on most of the group and for some, like me, it eventually outpaced the 67 and 76.

'82 Bordeaux and Friends (Rene's): Amazing for 46 years old! Caramel corn and butter, apple, appricot. Great texture, showing a touch of charcoal/mint. Wow. Excellent with a doughnut! Great way to close it out!

Getting tired and starting to become oxidized. The wine was dull and lacked a lot of fragrance or fruit showing. I hope this was an off bottle. However, I think it's just old age setting in.

Nez complexe
Bouche très fine avec des arômes de miel et d'abricot.
Fin de bouche somptueuse.
