Auction purchase. Cork bled completely through, no other signs of leakage. Vibrant red color with no signs of browning. Pretty nose. Cherry, wild cherry, tomato. Resolved tannin, but plenty of acidity. Pleasantly surprised. 90-91

Got this bottle from auction. Dark Ruby, brownish tinged. Nose showing slight oxidation, green and vegetal, bean sprouts, slight wet cardboard and corked. Fruits has drying up on palate, green and vegetal. Drying finish. Pity that this bottle is not holding well as I wish. I still have a bottle to drink. Keep my finger cross it is bottle variation but will plan to drink up my last bottle asap.

Translucent red. Tart cherry and tomato with a slight hint of brett. Pretty amazing for a wine half a century old.
