  A surprise although it really shouldn't have because you have a winery that almost always outperforms and a year that is better than it usually gets credit for and between those two I should have known I'd be a fan. Opened and double decanted at home for sediment but rebottled almost immediately. This took some time to really come around. It was prob an hour or two in the glass before the fruit started to jump out. Bright red and kindof unctuous. I found myself looking up other bottles on my way. Really tasty.

  Medium garnet in colour. Medium nose with notes of mint, cooked black fruits, tea. Medium acidity and tannin. Already past it peak. Will not improve.

  Just barely hanging in. But still moderately enjoyable. I had an amazing bottle of the 1978 about 10-13 years ago, but it is now well past it’s prime.

  Pronounced nose intensity with notes of toast, charr wood, mushroom, barnyard, wet forest. Nice nose but light body. A little acidity for the palate. Weak red fruit note.

  Bordeaux rood
  Matige neus met lichtrood fruit
  Echter krachtige wijn met verrassend veel rood fruit (framboos/kers) en een fraai zuurtje. Mooie lange afdronk. Zeer vitale wijn
