Savory and a bit woody. Not complex. Short finish.

Still lively. Some brett, but as good as I've had from an older Bordeaux

So young, still. Incredible fruit and just the beginnings of the tertiary stage. Structure for 10-15 more years. Not a bad day at the office. Happy birthday @andrewmulligan

Amber with bricking and slightly cloudy. Old wine smell plus some caramel and molasses. A bit maderized. Fading finish. Might have been poorly stored at some point.

Definitely past its prime, but....lovely bouquet, smooth tannins, just a tad too dried out to be completely satisfying. Pencil shavings!

Solid Bordeaux with 37 years of age - solid cork and compact sediment. A compliment to pasta / sausage/ cheese + herbs.👀. A glass the next day was elegant and tasty. Will try another bottle next month.
