7/21/2023 - jsteach Likes this wine: 96 pointsRemove capsule to a perfect cork wet have way through. Look like it had be re corked being that clean. Opened to a aroma of smoke and cherries and let it micro oxygenate for hour or so. Pouring this was spectacular as wine came out of bottle like freshly squeeze strawberry juice and did not disappoint. It had a sweet cherry and sour aroma like a fortified wine, more like dried fruit. Elegant with sent of chocolate and tanned leather. Carrying good acid and medium finish. |

7/21/2023 - jsteach Likes this wine: 93 pointsGarnet in color with no bricking. This 70-year-old wine shows character and personality, aromas of coffee grounds, caramel, ripe black fruit, fine leather, notes of cured tobacco. In the mouth it has a good attack, although it fades in the middle, fair acidity and a short finish. Great classic wine |

1/19/2018 - jsteach Likes this wine: 95 pointsTons of mature, berry fruit on opening, jumping out of bottle. Ripe berry fruit with youthful grip and silky smooth. Acidity keeps it lively, finishes with coffee and sweet cocoa flavors. Drank over next 4 hours, never fading or getting better. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

The mouthfeel is exceptionally youthful given its age; there’s so much vibrancy here. The finish is full of earth, cloves, and currants, and goes on, and on, and on… Do you find this review helpful?
