Low fill but no sign of leakage. To my big surprise the wine is still alive and is showing even a (slightly muddy) medium garnet. Muted nose. On the palate savory notes, a touch of sous bois and a green streak but aromatically overall somewhat muted. Tannins completely resolved. Short finish. 84 points in my book but not bad for a 60 year old Cru Bourgeois in a low fill bottle.

Académie des Cinquante Mature Claret Tasting (Restaurant Niven *, Rijswijk, NL): Slightly vegetal, Cabernet not completely ripe it seems.
