Ah so got the cork out in one piece! Almost soaked through, fair amount of sediment. Still has a great color, not too bricky.
Singing after 45 minutes or so in a aerated decanter
Nose opened up to a floral bouquet
Still had fruit flavor but tertiary took over. Almost meaty in a sense
I'm newer to wines and haven't tried anything this old before
A Happy Thanksgiving it was!

My first time trying a 70s mayacamas. The hype is real. This is what a great aged napa can be like. Very silky with weightless power while showing earth, dark fruit, tea and cedar. So delicate and smooth. I loved the fact that the wine did not have the typical napa ripeness. It was balanced, ethereal and precise.
