  Maderized, bricky in color, and quite bright, sharp, and crisp, with remnants of tart red fruits interspersed in the tobacco, and wet earth core. This is long past its prime. Still, tasting history is always a special treat. Drink yesterday.

  A tribute note, rather than tasting note; supposedly 1915, disastrous vintage (rainy, rainy and humid), atrocious conditions (WWI labour shortage, poor material, mildew); MS, soaked black cork albeit not crumbled; still clean colour, no opacity, wild balsamic, mocha nose, whiff of port sweetness on the medicinal side, and light but undeniable vinegar touch; fairly delicate medium length, and still drinkable yet lacking its former fruit and structure, turned acidic ages ago; worth the experience given Mouton and Latour didn't even bother and declassified their entire crop.
