Elegant and structurally balanced, but I wish there was a bit more concentration and longer finish. — 9 years ago
Really classy nose, almond and fennel and gentle yeastiness underneath. Very young, lovely texture but closed on the palate. Finish clean and very long, this will be an absolute cracker with a bit of time — 10 years ago
It's Bordeaux O'Clock. 81 Palmer oppulent, refined texture, fresh, layered & yummy! A bit of extra Pre-Parker finesse perhaps? #FilthyOldVino — 11 years ago
Super complex nose with figs, olive juice, roasted dark nuts, funk, and black licorice. Following that is a bit of a let down. Palate starts strong with dark fruit and charred earth but the watery finish (that I feel like is a vintage thing) leaves me hangin. Doubtful more time will help. Still a good showing. — 8 years ago
It's a bit sweet for me but it's fantastic and smooth ~~ — 8 years ago
Bought on a bit of a whim, this was perfectly fine without a real wow factor. A quite lovely nose of beef stock, strawberry jam and roses, but the palate was undistinguished and acidity overwhelmed any initial fruit. Food is a must and even then it's a bit awkward. — 9 years ago
A bit of oxidation, but otherwise, just fine. Fruit still there. 1970, 45 year old wine for our 45th Anniversary. — 10 years ago

Light with hints of tart and sharp raspberries. Just a little bit of earth. Ok, better with food and cheese than by itself. — 7 years ago
