first of 5 bottles from auction. base neck fill level. Cork in terrible condition with half crumbled. Came out though; only with Durand... Remarkably pale hue; similar to old Barolo or very old Burgundy. Beautiful nose with great complexity: earthy, spicy, mineral, still a sweetness from plummy fruit remnant. soft tannins but still firm structure underneath. This must have been ferocious early on. Long, lingering finish on iron , spicy and mineral notes. This clearly peaked years ago, but still so enjoyable... I suspect very traditional winemaking with stems and long cuvaison. A treat.
