  April 2, 2019 - No formal note. But an excellent wine. Part of their late release and recroked series. Fantastic condition and so much life for a 40 year old wine. There is some fruit remaining and lots of nice secondary aromas. Excellent value. Drank to celebrate Shreyas and Christina promotions.

  March 31, 2015 - Argh - when I picked up the bottle I noticed the cork was already in the bottle. The wine was quite maderized but somehow drinkable. I chose to pour it down the drain.

  February 2, 2013 - Very good nose of old Margaux when it is best, farmyard, leather. Not many tanins left, well structured but not as complex as Brane Cantenac in same year.

  September 15, 2012 - Tasted together with Brane Cantenac 1978 and 1998. The smell was a little bit more simple and less complex than the Brane Cantenac 78, but still very good with notes of leather, cigarbox, earth. The taste is very smooth, not many tanins left and you do not doubt that it is an old Margaux. Very worth drinking for the next couple of years
