January 10, 2019 - A bottle from the early 1970's.
Deep golden to amber color. Very oxidative and fully tertiary nose with rather old aromas of salted nuts, toast, some caramel, a little bit of bruised apple, light smoky tones and a hint of cocoa powder. The wine is completely flat, dry and racy on the palate with flavors of bruised apple, oxidative caramel tones, a little bit of saline minerality and a hint of pithy lemon. The dosage shows as a light touch of sweetness at the tip of the tongue; otherwise the high acidity keeps the wine completely dry. The finish is acid-driven, oxidative and short with flavors of bruised apple, some caramel, a little bit of saline tang and a hint of rancio.
A wine that's completely in pieces and has been for years, if not decades. Offers nothing really at this point.2,977 views
