  Structured, ocean seawater in the nose to start, settled after a few. Decanted for an hour.

  To me the 1970 was the least attractive vintage. Seemed to be passed its peak. I see the high scores here and wonder if we maybe had a lesser bottle.

  High shoulder
  Crumbly cork which didn’t come out completely intact with the Durand
  Clear garnet, almost chestnut colored
  Cherry and black tea aromas
  Completely resolved Black cherry, tea and mushroom flavors. Really quite lovely
  This is quite alive, though I’d consider drinking up while it is so pleasurable

  Second to last top shoulder bottle. Dark colour. Nose earthy at first then smoky violet nose and anise. Later blackcurrant. Well balanced with very soft tannins and medium weight plummy fruit. Good long finish. Not quite as good as the previous bottle.
