Almost certainly past its best but perhaps so am I, drinking this birthyear wine. Still some fruit but mostly the expected raisins. Very good length and wonderful to drink on a birthday. Still some years ahead of it, so if you're the same year as me, don't rush on this one.

Dégustation FOUDUVIN au RESTO AVV The Main kitchen! Superbe nez de menthol et de prunes. En bouche, fruits noir et tannins complètement fondu. Beau vin élégant, coulant et digeste.

For a 46 year old wine, this was a good bottle. The raisiny nose was present. This bottle was very dynamic and showing only a little fading. I bought this as part of a wood display box from Bertani containing four bottles of older vintages.

Nice ruby color. Potent nose of sweet raisins, clove, green tobacco, red spices and alcohol. Smooth, aged texture with intense flavors of red fruits, raisins and clove. Finishes dry and slightly bitter with resolved tannins and complex notes of tobacco, cinamin and bay leaf. I love these old Bertani's and this seems like a good bottle but it may be slightly past its best. The '71 tasted recently blew this away.

Surprisingly fresh nose with fruit. But a little tired. Not oxidated, but just a little tired. ok for the age
