(Decanted for half an hour) Brick red colour with a mature nose showing ripe black berries combined with lots of tertiary notes of coffee, leather and sous bois in a delicious way. Fully evolved tannins on the mature palate showing leather and with an intense ripe black berries sweetness on the pleasant finish. (Still keeping together very well after 50+ years...)

Smelled off initially but that went away and it was clearly still wine with all tertiary elements going on like earth, etc. The mouthfeel was quite dense and silky though. Interesting for its age although hard to say that it was pleasing per se…

Unfortunately past its best. Mushroom and mulch nose and palate was similar.
