  The wine had a deep and healthy garnet appearance with a slightly dusty and muted nose. Mild fruit on the palate showed through a lengthy and almost metallic like finish. Slightly disappointing, although not faulty. Would have loved to try this 10 years ago.

  Bottle had a leaky capsule and was only mid-shoulder fill.
  Complex and still some fruit and acidity holding itself together. A bit of berry and vegetal nose. Refine and smooth 30+ second finish.

  I think this has started to turn--a little brown and brick on the edges, some vegetal aromas, earthy. Tart berry flavors and decent tannins hold this together, but there just isn't much to hold together.

  Popped and poured, cork broke but was in reasonably good shape otehrwise. Sourced in Paris with provenance direct from the Chateau (according to the shop), fill was into the neck. Gorgeous brick red color, only slightly lightened around the edges. Nose of mineral, wet stones, tobacco, leathery, with slight vegetal notes. The wine is remarkably fresh, I would never guess it is over 40 years old. Still tannic and structured, this definitely surpasses the 61 and seems bolder than the 66. On the palate, it has a base of what I can only described as black tar, followed by layers of saddle leather, blackberry and perhaps a touch of licorice. A smooth 30 second finish completes what is a lovely wine. I'm sold, Lascombes made some wines in the 60's that have definitely held the test of time. This can last at least another decade and perhaps longer.

  THE WINES OF MARGAUX (Lafayette, Ca.): Musty, damp, brick red color in the glass, pleasant, rich, cherry fruit in the mouth, showing at peak, trifle watery, long finish.
