Finally opened this wine that I overpaid fof at a chairity auction. It was donated by Tim Timkin and I am sure he knew it was shit but took a big tax break for it. Shame on you Tim Timkin of Canton Ohio! Never again will I buy wine at a chairity event donated by a wealthy guy!

Still good - meaning still drinkable - good may be too strong. Took a little time to shake the dust off. Soil. Cherry. Good acid. Very interesting. Was good with food. I have no basis for comparison for when the wine was younger - but it did seem to be thinning with age and if formerly had more complexity and fruit much of that is now gone.
Nevertheless - not unpleasant and interesting to see which flavors are still prominent after 46 years...

Way past its time. Bot, or should I say, was scammed into buying by a tim timken donation at a charity auction. He knew it was bad but took the deduction. Let the buyer beware!!! Dumped the bottle

Marvellous reddish orange colour. Quite open and entycing on the nose with hints of wild berries and bark. In the mout the wine was thin and diluted with a short and bitter aftertaste. There wasn't much in the way of complexity or fruit left.
