Pink giving way to brown. Rusty. Lots of sediment.
Lush fruity nose. Completely unexpected. Cherries, strawberry compote, wet flowers, touch of soy. Reminds me of an old Right Bank in its weight. Certainly as surprising as the 1975 Veuve earlier in the night.
Lovely palate. As lush as on the nose. Smooth finish. Touch bitter, and a bit short.
Didn't improve in glass over next 1-2 hours. Compared to the Tache 75 this was more voluptuous and forward but one-dimensional. Still much better than expected though.

Another Saturday at Chevalier...Mostly Blind (Chicago, IL): Tasted double blind. This had a pleasant spice element, but was very light for a 1975 with only earthy elements coming through. Slightly disappointed to see this once unveiled.

Light color. Great, fine concentration. Rose petals. Seductive scent. Medium long. Quite energetic for the age.
