1934 Château Margaux
Top shoulder fill. Semi-opaque at the core, almost like an old burgundy with its brownish hews. Beautiful and graceful bouquet of roses, raspberries that have been baked, very elegant and healthy nose. At first very dry, with the fruit barely hanging on for dear life, but after 15 minutes in the decanted it comes alive with sweet fruit, high acidity and just a kiss of tannin. This is very complex and sublime for about a period of 20-40 minutes, what else could you ask for from a 80 year old bottle of wine.
THANKS DAVE !!

Thanks to a good cork, still alive, with a super bouquet, although a bit faded in the mouth. Wish I was in as good shape! — 12 years ago

Drinks better now than 61...more lushness and full bouquet. Haunting layers of flavor, beautifully extracted front to back balance is amazing!!! — 13 years ago

Really enjoyed this wine. Nice bouquet. Everything I enjoy in a big Napa cab, dark stewed fruit, chocolate, a hint of mocha. Lasting finish. Lived up to a special occasion billing — 12 years ago
