  September 25, 2021 - From a small collection of less-than-ideally stored wines, so I had low expectations. Fill was not terrible. Cork fought me but came out ok in pieces. Nice color, no bad odors, but wine was clearly well past its peak with very little fruit left. Started out with something of a very dry / smokey / ashtray kind of note which faded about 30 mins in. Still very drinkable and enjoyable but makes one wonder what it once was.

  June 20, 2019 - Strawberry, raspberry, anise, pyrazine - nicer in the glass than it sounds on paper. A very fine silhouette. Not bad for a 64, but not great for a GPL. Nothing you can do about rain at harvest.

  October 7, 2016 - Still very much alive, perfectly mature. Total provenience and perfect storage conditions for 50 or so years and a cork still in good shape. The label was in ruins. Old brick red color as it should be. Hints of mold and leather on the nose, opened up after 30 mins. Multitude of flavours, coffee, herbs and a hint of ripe plum. A great experience.

  February 14, 2014 - Tasted blind: Still an intensive color one would never expect a 50year old wine. Unfortunately the wine was so badly corked that it did not give any inidcation about potential flavors/tastes.
