Delightful, lessor vintage claret that breathed up beautifully after a 6 hour 'Audouze'. There are notes of red berry, green bean, cassis and earth. It gets sweeter in the glass and has a nice savoury finish.

incredibly soft and elegant wine, after 40 years; a lot of flavors, tasteful, and power; nothing wrong if kept in a good cellar; I bought it at an incredible good price in 1977 during the crisis in Bordeaux, when the Americans decided to boycot a lot of Bordeaux wines

Not bad for a 40 yr old wine. While there was very little fruit left, there were plenty of cedar, leather and tobacco flavors. Went very well with the lamb belly dish paired with this wine.

Medium garnet.
Clean smoky fresh red fruits on the nose.
Fresh red fruits touch of smoke and Sadler leather. A bit short on the finish.
