Unfortunately, was a leaker. Too much air got to it.

1974 Clos du Val Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve
4/2/2017 - gigmoney Likes this wine:
Recent purchase from binnys.
Fill very top shoulder. Perfect cork. Double decanted. First pour was astringent and funky. After 2 hours this began to open up with an ethereal perfume that led us to believe more was to come. 2 more hours later and this was singing. Enjoyed over 2 hours after 4 hour double decant. This turned from nothing to something really special. Just waves of delicious full bodied fruit and a nose of boysenberry, blueberry, and a tiny bit of eucalyptus that kept coming. This is near fully resolved and absolutely stunning. The old world charm and character shown through on this evening. Tannins were almost imperceptible, with a slight streak of acid that kept it lively and fresh through the entirety of the bottle. Simply stunning. Clos du val said they have no more of this in their library but did mention the blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 12.8% alcohol, and bottled August 1976.
Absolutely great 1974 from a bygone era.

Slow oxed for 4 hrs. Way too young, but held its own. Great with morels. Leave alone for 5 years.
