Lovely old Bordeau. Complex nose showing no individual varietal character. Smoky taste. Still has some tannin so should be good for a few more years. Solid structure through everything.

Wow. Cork was perfect. Crimson with only a slight hint of bricking. Very little sediment, poured and began tasting almost immediately. This was a revelation. A wine that was definitely not intended to last 40 years has aged beautifully. A light floral nose emerged after the initial slightly musty, vegetal notes. Some fruit -- dried currants and a bit of plum. Rose hip and spices. Elegant with a medium long finish.

The "youngest" of the lot so far. Just a touch of bricking, the bottle benefited from decanting and opened in the glass for the next hour. FOr a wine that was likely not intended to age for 40 years, this was a great bottle.

Unfortunately, our bottle was totally flat. Too late.

Still ruby colour, with ripe raspberry, overtones of tobacco and, after time in the decanter, the addition of beautiful leather.
