Best bottle of this yet; very complex, voluminous tertiary smells; elegant and substantial fruit; autumnal and quite vibrant (I guessed it to be a '78); full bodied but oh so balanced. Excellent! 93+

Another shot at this, tasted blind: really bright strawberry and rhubarb fruit with mixed spices, just a tad too acidic for my tastes. Last bottle was much better.

A wine buddy’s recent auction acquisition, tasted blind: deep garnet with bricking at the rim; a meaty mature wine with ample spiciness and umami quality. A bit blunt and “four square”.
