  My birth year! Bottle level very good, dark color, wonderful sweetness, ripe fruit, complex, wonderful for this age. I had it twice from the same cellar

  Entirely tertiary and not sure if we have ever had a truly great bottle of this yet. Lots of caramel-laden woodsy fruit with bits of dried autumn leaves and nougat popping throgh. Some soy type flavors come through to the spicy, pliant palate. Integrated tannins and well-judged acidity. More of a tawny port-like sweetness with dried fruits/plums coming through with the sweetness now. Time to drink up but this (particular bottle) doesn’t fall off a cliff once opened. Rich palate still!

  Trying another bottle of this: again has an oxidative style to it yet there is a ton of good underlying material evident. No question this is a reconditioned bottle, probably done in the early 90s(?) by the appearance of the capsule/cork and it's having been imported by one of Remoissenet's regional accomplices back in the heydays. (In this case Stacole down in Boca). Lots of savory and umami notes which came forward after much of the coffee grounds notes eased up. I've had one excellent bottle and 2 seriously underwhelming and/or flawed bottles. Thumbs down to re-bottling and "reconditioning" here! Much more of it occurred after the buyout.
