slight browning but not bad for its age. Still some fruit with cigar box nose. Not much in the way of finish - overall an interesting wine given its age

Clear light red with brown edges. Medium intense nose of green pepper and cedar box. Not much fruit left but very nice. Dry green herb, plum and earth flavours and a dry but not at all dried out finish.

A surprisingly excellent showing. I wasn't expecting too much, having had little success with G-L from the 70's, but this was really good. The aromatics were outstanding with nice cassis fruit, old leather, some tobacco, and Cordier funk adding complexity. The palate was also going strong, with good sweetness still, a silky resolved texture, just classic. An eye opener.

Annual Christmas Wine Dinner and Cellar Raid (Naperville, IL): Didn't take detailed notes. Part of Christmas wine dinner and cellar raid. Capsule ok, but cork was saturated. Worse than the 1970

This is how I like to drink Bordeaux, carnal, rusty, iodized, yet alive, fruitful. Nails & Cherries. What a lovely bottle this was.
