Smoking good and a big surprise as most Bordeaux in the late 70s was not good. The color was mature, but not nearly as brick as I would have expected. The nose I could smell all day and all night. Lots of perfumed red fruits, subtle spice and tertiary leathers and dried flowers. The palate was just as good and followed on from the nose, if anything a little less complex than the nose. — 10 years ago

Beautiful brick color, deep, murky. Nose: chocolate, pepper, vanilla, toffee. Very interesting, round, red fruits, coffee, tobacco. Mouth: red fruit, sourness, blunt chocolate, tobacco. Very velvety, nose that is super expressive, nice acidity from sour red fruits. Very good wine, very good vintage. — 12 years ago

The 1975 vintage tasted 2015 at age 40 is brick coloured with a garnet hue. This wine is showing its age as a Slimmer and leaner version than it was a decade ago and now features prominent savoury notes . Currently Showing ripe plum, black sage, strawberry compote, low tannins, leather, thin bodied and well integrated. This wine at age 40 gives pleasure and a taste of the characteristics Bordeaux is known for even at its ripe age. Enjoy with ripe cheese, savoury and delicate antipasti, and red meat hors doeuvres. — 11 years ago
