  Picked up 6 on auction and they were all flawed. Heavy chemical smell & taste. So disappointing but not overly surprised given the plastic corks Behrens used back then.

  Popped for a small taste...nail polish was the first thought...we decided to decant and after a few hours a bit of fruit came through, but still dominated by chemicals and heat...fascinating that others are having complete 180 experiences and enjoying their bottles...I would sell my last bottle if anyone would take it, but would feel bad if they had a similar experience.

  Probably the best B&H wine I have ever had. Great fruit and balance. Still 5-10 years of life left

  This is either flawed or just suffered from the weird synthetic cork but not good...

  Huge, really huge, crowd pleaser. Let breathe for about two hours. Inky black. Big bold black blue and red fruit. Still pretty ripe. Integrated. Long finish. Probably should have saved for a more intimate time in the winter.
