  Amazingly youthful, still dark ruby, currants, cassis, blackberry, leather, silky tannins, great balance, long finish

  From 750ml, with mid-high shoulder fill….a bottle I’ve owned for ~20 years. Poured ruby red with just faint aging around the rim. After a slow start the fruit filled out further and achieved a nice balance with other components, which itself is a good sign. wonderful cigar, black pepper, sous bois, and delicate red fruit, it is no longer at its apogee but I’d say it’s gently on the downslope. It might sound a little mawkish but I felt a certain connection with the wine on that level. I’d be pulling corks to appreciate what is still an excellent wine and no doubt one of the best wines from this vintage

  A bit dirty and heavy initially, but cleaned up and improved quite a lot as the night progressed. Maybe not a perfect example, this bottle… but quite enjoyable in the end.

  Wow, simply stunning, and easily the best '75 I've had to date. Initially this opens with some tea leaf and mint notes, which give way to plum and eventually bright wild strawberry notes. This shows quite the evolution in flavor profile with aeration, moving from black to red fruits. It is a seamless and elegant wine with only a hint of those '75 tannins on the back end. Quite honestly, this is one of the top 5 wines I've had in my life.

  Thanks Jim brought this wine to serve in a double blind guess game. We all thought this was an aged Burgundy, pale brown color, floural nose and medium body with minerals. A wonderful wine!
