  Demi-bouteille en bonne condition, entre into et bottom neck. Bouchon d'origine, a cassé à la moitié. Décanté vu le sédiment et les quelques morceaux de bouchon perdus. Etonamment a besoin d'air. Nez d'abord sur la pierre mouillée, notes métalliques, puis sur les champignons, les roses fanées. En bouche, la constitution est moyenne, la trame acide soutient bien le vin qui est de longueur moyenne. Remarquable compte tenu de l'âge!

  From a perfectly stored bottle, tobacco, earth, forest floor, stone, flowers, cherries, smoke, spice and ash aromas were in full force. Medium/full bodied, with soft textures meshed with the patina of age, this fully mature Bordeaux wine ended with a melange of spicy cherry flavors. It's not often I get to experience wines that are close to 60 years old. It's always a special treat.
