Unfortunately this bottle was past its prime. The fruit had faded entirely and the nose and palate showed mostly oxidative notes. Some lovely spiciness showed through, but the finish was quicker than I expected. NR.

Agree with tinybubbles - a nice wine that was outclassed by the 1966 of the same wine. The nose is pretty, broad and rich, but a bit astringent. Very classy wine, but showing a bit muddled tonight.

Very good breadth to the palate. Good clarity here. Less depth than the '66 served alongside.

Dark and soil-based. More giving on the palate than the nose with this bottle.
