Mature nose with cedar wood, sandalwood, incense, dried fruits; already very soft body (m-), smooth and refined texture. Very elegant but a bit fragile. It performed better than what I imagine (at least no oxidative notes). In the mouth, there are still a bit of fruits and structure, somewhat herbaceous. Medium length. You don't expect a lot of intensity from wine of this age esp. in the 70's. Medium+ acidity.
