Auction purchase. Solid cork that pushed through, probably my fault. Decanted and drank over four hours. Held up. Significantly brown with a touch of red. Not much nose. Prune, red cherry, black olive, a hint of Bordeaux green. Persistent. Fully mature.

Good condition for a 70, v mellow, solid Bordeaux, better than today’s 1970 Ducru, good structure on the palate

Drank great. Still rocking. Amazing for a 50 year old bottle.

Not as good as the 70 Ducru Beaucaillou, older more mature with lots of secondary aromas, medium to light bodied, very nice & refined

Surprisingly fresh. Fascinating to drink a wine almost 50 years old with so much vitality.
