After a 78 and 79 which were going downhill, I had a reserver when I pulled this bottle but it was not needed. A glorious bottle. Beautifully balances. Soft tannins, low acid etc etc. How a bottle of 50 years age could be so soft is amazing. It was an old bottle, and obviously so, but oh so lovely and drinkable. Maybe there is a very fine line between old and lovely and old but acidic, but thi bottle was firmly on the lovely side Beautiful.
