Rubber mat, soil, camomile, espresso, cedar, lovely humidor notes, chocolate-hazelnut, ever changing multifaceted nose. Great mouthfeel and good length!

The best part of the experience is the silky, velvety texture that you find with its wealth of red and black plums, cocoa, truffle, and spice. The strong sensation of flowers on the front end is the perfect introduction to the wine. Fully mature, there is no reason or sense to keep holding it, plus, it is so good, you need to experience it. Drink from 2023-2034.

Fresh and floral with incredible freshness on the palate. Still preferred the 70 Vega nevertheless.

A pre-50 pre Birthday Celebration; 6/9/2023-6/11/2023 (Around Zurich Area): Sourced pristine from the impeccable cellar of Sonne Seuzach , Switzerland . We debated long between this and the 1975 but as the level was in neck for this we said 1970.
A magnificent wine and at times reminded us of a Syrah ( blind we would have said 1980s Guigal La Landonne) with soft meaty and smoky edge. Healthy and lively albeit the age shows. Dark coloured , dark fruited and with a singing nose. A masterclass of a wine and an easy 98 and frankly with another 20 years of life.
