From a bottle that was never moved from its cold Bordeaux cellar, tea in color with earth, cigar box, tobacco, ash and light cherries. Light on the palate, with a tart, cherry finish, it was still a treat drinking a wine close to 100 years old.

Filling level was mid shoulder. Wine must have been wrappd up in a newspaper and stored in a fairly humid cellar, as newspaper print were visible all over the label. Still quite a nice ruby colour with brown edging, not very intense though. Fair amount of oxidative flavours, reasonably balanced but tannins drying out. Still drinkable though.

Great nose, phantastic sweetness, silky, still red berries, I guessed Burgundy, great length and concentration, nicely balanced, a gem
