3/15/2024 - Sultan of Bubastis Likes this wine: 89 pointsObviously, this evening represented my first experience with this wine. When the cork first came out, it was not interesting. As it breathed, however, it improved measurably. The color was somewhat uninspiring, but the nose opened well. As we completed the bottle, we agreed that it was an interesting learning experience |

2/7/2024 - Sultan of Bubastis Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis vine is a great favorite of mine, but I was concerned over two items. One, when I bought it In the early 1970s, 1967 was not included to be a great year for Bordeaux, and. two, the Level of the wine In the bottle was down maybe 3/4 of an inch. The cork was quite wet, but intact. |
