  Wow, what an amazing bottle. The nose is a sweet eucalyptus - reminds me of silver oak. Body is soft and supple, with leather, black currant, some spice and is still shockingly tannic. Long tobacco finish. Really one hell of a bottle.

  Passé son peak.
  Couleur ambrée allant vers Le Brun
  Nez sur les champignons, la terre, l’humidité, qui donne un doute que le vin est madérisé.
  En bouche, il est encore en vie. Les fruits rouges, le sucre, un peu de floral et du chocolat.

  cork crumbly, a bit phenolic on the nose, but still going strong. a lovely experience with dry aged filet mignon sous vide. Corinnas vintage.

  Old Wines [1959 - 1982 ] (Vancouver): No Formal Tasting Note
  This wine was disappointing, the one thing I would say is the mouth feel on this wine was amazing, the texture fantastic, the colour still dark and fresh looking, but in the mouth a touch of fruit then it falls of a cliff, No Finish no nothing after the initial 1sec fruit then drying tannin no fruit no finish
  
  Conc: A Cliff wine

  Chateau Batailley Tasting (The Sampler): This has a light delicate nose of rubber muddled in with red fruits.
  Dry palate with a moderate-light body. It seems the fruit has left this wine and only left flavors of black tea and worn saddle. The tannins are chunky and the acidity is slightly elevated. Still this is very much wine and quite enjoyable. Short finish. I just have to think about how this wines best days are behind it.
  Drink now.
  Excellent Quality. 88 pts.
