  PnP
  Rubis limpide, tirant légèrement sur le roux
  Pas grand chose au nez... boisé, fumé, à peine de fruit - grenade..
  En bouche, belle fraîcheur, tannins en bonne forme, ce vin ne fait absolument pas son âge et semble taillé pour l'éternité. Belle longueur, assez faible complexité. Un vin à l'ancienne, pas séducteur mais solide comme un roc. Peut accompagner tout type de viande et certainement certains fromages (personnellement je ne suis pas partisan du rouge sur un camembert ou un brie)
  
  Excellent rapport Q/P

  Fascinating how alive this wine felt! Smoky , spicy , peppery and fresh from color to nose. It developed a lot of volatile acidity along the way which spoiled the experience we have to say and gave the wine a brash feel. Would have to say though impressively alive for a 45yr old wine. 89-90

  Tasted blind. Dark fruit, some green notes, smoke, and pepper on the nose. Nice acidity with quite powerful, structural tannins and more dark fruit and some bell pepper flavors on the palate. Nice finish. This actually felt too young and in need of 10+ years. Couldn't believe it's a 76, I would have guessed a really young showing 89/90 Chinon. Quite impressive.

  Is this wine immortal?!
  5+yrs since my last note but still on its never-ending plateau. Slightly harsh acidity at first decant but quickly blew off by the time it hit the glass 30mins later. Core fruit of dense wild strawberry and brulé black hedge and stoned fruits, smoke, earth and charred oak. Very little vegetal character given the extreme age. Touch of capsicum adds interest and (after breathing) shows well balanced acidity. Long. Perfection.
  Will hold my last bottle for its 50th birthday in 2026. I have little doubt that it will still be chugging along towards the never ending horizon!!

  This was impressive. Blind I believed it to be a ~20-25 y.o. traditional Rioja, as it was generally lean, fresh and very lively, colour was still garnet almost w/o browning. Puzzling, but excellent wine. Some funk on the nose hint at Cabernet Franc, but there was not much of earthy notes.
