Bought at auction. No ullage at all. Dense colour belied it's venerable age. Strong bouquet of leather/aged wine and very much alive in the mouth with fruit still detectable. Back palate showed a skeletal structure with the finish a bit tannic/short and clear the wine still had structure but no fruit at the back. Strictly speaking a 90 but I'm super impressed it was more than still drinkable at 41 years of age.
