Pretty good for 45 years old bottle. Nose was nice, but only between 60-90min after opening. Taste with minimum tannins, but still fresh acidity and long tail. I thought this will be already undrinkable, but it was much better than some 1er Gran Cru of this age, what a nice surprise

Pnp. nose had cedarwood, cinnamon, earth, leather, and sweet dark fruit. Palate was powerful and layered with cedary note. It drank like an older weak vintage Vega Sicilia Unico. Very enjoyable.

As aged as it was this held out as well as most good bordeaux with nice lively capsicum lifted aged plums with touches of cherries and blueberries followed closely by cigar and ash.

2012 - Hi, Jonathan! (Paradise Pavilion @ MBFC): Alcohol :: 13% Light pinkish red with brownish hue. Soft and expressive bouquet of plum, leather, red cherry, sweet herbs, earth. There is also this raisin note in the core. Medium bodied, still fresh and firm but rather simple, lacks a bit of depth. Still lively and in fact, drinking very well now with medium length finished, quite juicy.
