My last bottle and seemingly the best one from the lot. Nice sturdy cork, came out in one go. Very faint nose, but the flavour lasted the entire evening - nice little old lady ! Clearly way over its peak, but very much enjoyable on a cold evening.

Tasted like an old wine, but still a hint of former "grandeur" to be spotted. Well over its peak, however still pleasant to drink, especially after 1/2 upon opening the bottle. Glad to have two more in my cellar ... to enjoy on a casual evening.

My 30th birthday dinner (Restaurant Cofoco): Fine red center with a brown hue. On the nose it has fragile black currant and black berry, more intense notes of moist earth and basement. A bit fragile first on the palate with earth and tobacco, then gains more sweetness on over the midpalate and finish with notes of cedar wood and prunes. Classic Bordeaux, but tired and lacking the tannic bite.

Lived up to what I expected ... an old wine, but still enjoyable !!!
Not bad for something that spent 35 years in a a bottle !
