Opened with my brother for his 50th birthday. My lone bottle that I bought with some 73’s when I was setting up a party last year. This bottle was singing just like the 73’s. Likely might have been even better five years ago as it showed just a little age. It had a little red color to it with bricking evident. The nose was good and the cork held up; the wine 🍷 was delicious and A pleasant surprise for me. Mission accomplished for my brothers special birthday. 🎂

These bottles are defective. I was given a full credit by Hart Davis Hart on these bottles. I will be returning them to Imperial Wine Storage to return them to Hart Davis Hart.

Winebid purchase. Good fill and cork saturated only 1/4 inch.
Very much alive. Light garnet with bricking at the edge.
Very mature nose of rhubarb, cherries, tea, roses and a bit of earth.
Good length and balance on the palate. Impression of fruit with flavors echoing the nose. Fairly light bodied/low abv. Good acidity and long finish. Tannins fully resolved. Everything in harmony here.
A very pleasant surprise! Bravo, BV!

Brick colored and a bit lean on opening. Great fill; up to neck. The wine came through with lingering cassis for over 10 minutes while waiting for the decanted wine to settle. The dusty Napa was present in the finish. Impressed that it kept for 40 years after 3 cross country trips. Believe this bottle was purchased in New Hampshire in the 70's for less than $5.
