    December 24, 2023 - Just iron - no fruit nor tertiary aromas. Lacking everything. Cork was completely soaked...

    June 26, 2022 - 1976 Bordeaux B PL? Kein Feuerwerkerwarte - aber eines bekommen. Brauchte über den Abend Luft und Zeit, drehte und wendete sich im Glas, großes Aromenspiel - tolle Unterhaltung. Einer meiner Top-70iger B-Erfahrungen.

    April 8, 2022 - Green, rustic and with more tartness than sweet in the fruit, the medium-bodied wine is clearly drying out and needs to be consumed sooner than later before the last remnants of the red currants and cranberry fade any further.

    December 24, 2021 - Well preserved 1976 Chateau Baron de Pichon Longueville. Above shoulder fill.

    I managed to pull out the cork whole. A bit of black growth on the exterior side of the cork, but did not permeate through.

    On open: scent of intense raisin, ripe blueberry, and some petroleum fumes.

    I let it sit 5m before pouring. Petroleum burned off.

    Kind of a deep garnet color, little bit of brown rust, but not enough to call it tawny. One of the most vigorous colors of the older wines I've opened.

    Taste: raisin, strawberry, fading to tangy cherry Sweet tarts, with a finish of cedar becoming fresh hot jalapeno. Keeps you coming back for more. Best of the 1970s wines I've tried, which are only a few.
