My least favorite of the night, yet met or exceeded my expectations! It’s good to have low expectations.It’s alive, with some red plum fruit, but astringent tannins, and a heavy ashtray note overwhelms the cedar and leather.. B-/C+

(Mostly) Bordeaux 1975: What a beautiful nose here, incredible complexity and also intensity, this is full of sweet and exotic spices, there is cinnamon, caramel, cardamom, but also blood and iron notes, almost slightly reminiscent of a mature Musar, really nice. The palate is impressive as well with good intensity and length; slightly drying out on the finish. But this is a brilliant and extremely interesting wine. One of the highlights of the evening for me. 18.5/20
