  Årets överraskning! Vätskenivå nedanför axlarna. Vinet läcker ut och korken guppar i flaskan. Kan det ens vara drickbart? Jodå, och riktigt gott, dessutom.
  Totalgrumsigt (tordes inte dekantera). Svartröd. Extremt tunna gardiner.
  Men ändå en hel del frukt kvar. Mörka bär. Plommon. Höstlöv. RX-klister. Även kork och lite mugg men jag tror inte den är korkad alls.
  Fet munkänsla med bärighet, både röda och blå. Tämligen kort eftersmak men en trevlig syrlighet som dröjer sig kvar. Toppen till nygriljerade julskinkan.

  The colour of this 47 years old is showing some brown edge with the middle still ruby. The bouquet is wonderfully gentle and perfume with ripe red and blue berries, toasty oak, earthy herbs and old leather. Everything is so balanced and the core fruit is still holding strong, not at all drying out, although by the vintage conditions, this should have been drank long ago. The palate again shows the elegance, balance and good flavour intensity. Some earthiness towards the end of the palate with the structure still holding well. Transitions from entry to finish is gentle and smooth. The nice experience ends with a deep and lingering aftertaste of tobacco, forest floor and plums, with just a hint of ripe tannins. A surprising survival which is still holding strong. Drink it now if you still have a bottle of two.

  A medium red with brown/orange hues. A warm nose of flowers and perfume. This was very smooth and well balanced. This exceeded expectations and outshone many others during a 70s horizontal.

  BYOB with wines 30+ years (Sollentuna): peppery, pencil shavings, lots of mature notes, elegant, cool fruit, so nice to drink (guessed Bordeaux, older than the 1980s)

  @BYOB, tasted blind
  Impressive Bordeaux from a less good year. Lots of cabernet franc on the nose, green, burnt, smoke, warm plastic bottle, slight heat in the aftertaste.
