  Øje: klar, dyb bordeauxrød med brun kant, stilken kan anes, men mere tæt i væsken
  Næse: sherrynoter, oxyderet, mørk, modne skinker
  Mund: let tannin, medium syre, prikker ikke i kinderne, udtørrer let forrest på tungen, tanninerne føles lettere, væsken føles tyndere, mørke overmodne noter, let sherry, hint af røde bær
  
  Smagt 2006 og 1979 sammen
  
  Drukket til grillet okseculotte

  Vin qui tend vers l orangé. S ouvre tranquillement, graphite , bois. En bouche,il y a une forte acidité. Avec le fromage, cela lui donne une belle rondeur. Ses meilleurs années sont passées.

  Fully resolved, soft tannins, some dark fruit remaining, short/med finish, cork was solid. The wine is on the decline, although still enjoyable. What were you doing in the fall of 1979 when this vintage was harvested?

  Beautiful colour, almost orange at the rim, great nose, prunes, cherries, herbs, smoke. Smooth palate, round, a bit of fruit (cherries) left, still noticeable tannins and grip. Should still have a couple of years of life left.

  This bottle was in great shape. Cork was extremely tight & no seepage. Color was crimson with a bit of bricking. Upon opening it was tight / tannic. After about 10-15 minutes the tannins moderated and on the palate we got mild red fruit, excellent balance of acid and tannins. Not a big nose. This is as good as I've ever experienced in a late 1970's wine. Well bought at a Zachys auction last year.
