  A Wednesday at Dave's place: First bottle is suboptimal, second one corked. This third one seems decent so we dove in as it gained interest with air. This wine pours light garnet In the glass with medium bricking. The nose isn’t super expressive but gradually unfurls to show hints of gravel, plum tobacco, green plant stem, and violets. The palate shows the sternness of the vintage with medium plus tannin, and medium acid. The finish is certainly a tad clipped with some of the irony character that can mar older bordeaux. all in all this turned out to be drinking decently well. While its not winning any awards, there was pleasure to be had in this drinking experience.

  This is why we age wine. 2 cases bought at auction from an excellent cellar. Well stored with low neck fill (48 years old). For me this is in its prime. I question the storage in the lower ratings? Cork soaked and even with the Durand, the bottom part broke off. PnP-Deep red garnet with minimal bricking at the rim. Modest and decent nose but incredibly silky smooth on the palate with a long finish. Loads of dark red fruit in perfect balance with the acidity and elegant structure. Well-stored bottles are in a good place now and should stay here for who knows how many years? I never expected this! This is my second of 24 bottles and is slightly better than the first. Both were outstanding but this one was invigorated in my 55 degree cellar for 3 months. What a treat these old gems can be! With 22 bottles left they may well outlive me. Simply outstanding. Salud!

  Cork didn’t survive.
  
  At least 10 years after its’ prime, but still enjoyable.

  Slightly lacking in drama and perfume, but there is a beautiful plummy brine to the wine and silky berry notes. A bit beyond its prime years but we'll preserved bottles should drink quite well.
