  Sadly this was badly maderized. However in tasting the wine you could see the intense tannin and structure that was once there. Too bad.

  Fading, but I doubt I will be in as good a shape as this is if I even get close to 100 years of age. On the tertiary side with a focus on its tobacco, burnt wood, cedar, graphite, floral, herb, and red currant characteristics. Medium-bodied, and bricky in color, the light palate served up elegant red fruits, spice, and earthy notes. This is bottled history in your glass. What a treat and thrill to taste. Drink from 2023-2028.

  Drank this next to the wonderful Cos d'Estournel 1928. Ullage lower than the Cos. Too bad but this was a bit of a graveyard: life left a while ago. Very unpleasant bouquet, stale and waste. Somewhat better when tasting but overall a pass. But one can only expect to find 1 bottle out of 10 (?) to be in shape at this age.

  Recorked by Cordier in the 80s. Still some read fruit, a little unclear and musty nose, better in the mouth: very long, clean, lovely finish.
