  From magnum.
  
  Rather delicious bouquet. Magnificent tobacco and mint nose. Very Bordelais but smells older than its 30 years. Complex and alluring.
  
  Doesn't quite hit the same heights once you taste it. Tannins have mostly melted, but searing acidity props everything up. Food tames this a bit. Perhaps a little less distinctive in the mouth than on the nose, but nothing particularly jarring about it. Finish is so-so.
  
  Drink now.

  youthful color, dark purple, solid fruit core, dark fruits, cherry, cedar, there was an off note on the nose (? Brett) that detracted from the score.

  Almost thirty years out this wine is full of fruit, rounded and shows loads of structure. Kind of a sour/sweet plum and berry profile. I've had much older vintages (1968) and this is very similar but the year and the age gives it a much less lean profile.
  
  Some notes talk about this fading, but I saw no evidence of this. Decant an hour or two - a little acidic out of the gate.
