Mature robe. Enticing nose: spicy, charcuterie, dry reeds in the fall, oak towards gunpowder and (Swedish) hard bread. A bit towards unusual, but still lovely. Richesse, grande, full-bodied with good acidic profile and great tannins.
My guess: 1970. Pleasures from a totally forgotten vintage! Wow!
If you can make great wines when everything works against you, you have some great grapes and skillz.
