Rough in tannic structure. A somewhat paysanne wine. Not elegant.

Unfortunately kind of stewy and tomatoey. Outshines by the 66 brane!

Very interesting at first. Lots of earthy notes, tertiary aromas of baked meats, woods, earth, violets. But it seemed to fade pretty quickly and the fruits were somewhat absent from the start.

This old girl is still drinking well. Took about 45 minutes to open up after 52 years in the bottle. Drank nicely for about an hour with good expression of flavors then went south fast.
