  February 9, 2023 - Dinner with RC and friends (and some seriously old Bordeaux) (Duddell's, Hong Kong): Tasted blind. Vibrant ruby color. Delicate, subtly complex red fruit nose with dried moss and a tiny hint of mint. Light bodied, the fruit is a little fragile but still has the energy to pep up the palate. And there is even the gentlest of tannic edges in the 30 second finish. Nice.
  
  I nearly fell of my chair to find it was from 1949. I've never drunk anything that old! Whoa. Imagine the stuff that has happened since this wine was put into the bottle...

  July 26, 2020 - Wet forest, black tea, slight black fruits, garnet, medium- tannin and acidity. Drinkable and it’s a novelty to drink a wine after WW2. The taste actually collapsed after aerating in the wine glass after 15-20min and turn towards sour like vinegar. I was wondering if slow oxygenation will work? What a bottle!
