Winefield's pre-sale tasting: Unbelievable, a horrible vntage and than nearly 47 years later this wine is still drinkable, even a bit enjoyable. The bouquet is modest, but fresh, no decay in tje liighy taste, suggesting a bit fruit. In the aftertaste the tannins are a little bit harsh; 86 point for the wine iitself and one for surviving so long.

an educational evening with HdG and PdV (@ My place): Ruby red with a slightly brown rim. Dark berries and vanilla in the bouquet. On the palate red berries and acidity dominate. Some vanilla. Overall a bit thin and disappointing for its standard.

Dark red. Mature, complex and promising bouquet. The taste is quite acidic at first, but becomes more pleasant after a while. It has a medium long aftertaste. The wine is still a little too young and will be better in a few years when the acidity is better integrated.
