From a good looking bottle with a BN fill, this wine had a deep red center and orange rims. It had a medium intensity nose of currants, red dust, and plums.
In the mouth, this wine was refined with very little tannin and good acidity. It seemed like it was fading at first but it perked up an hour of air and serving it slightly cooler than most reds.
This was fun but not as strong and balanced as the '75. Drink up!

Incredible how after this many years this wine holds up. It is balanced, and we enjoyed it throughout the meal; we had chilies y nogada. Imagine, it held up to the chilies.Still had good alcohol, and enough tannins to hold for several hours. An honor to share this wine with good friends.

Better after a bit of air, but this was showing really well tonight. Still going strong, plenty of fruit and structure left.
