Bricking, still quite opaque. Cinnamon, clove, a warm, meadow sweetness of fragrance. Bold, assured and mightily structured on the palate. With intense marmalade, black licorice, and a kick of iodine. Heady wine 40 years in.

This particular bottle showed its age. Even so, there is beauty to a wine that is succumbing to time.

Intense old cow leather, silken mouth feel, tawny dark. Pretty great and my first HB looking forward to more! At Le Chat Botté

For me this has never been a good vintage for HB. This had a touch of VA, ripe sour cherry & seemed to be more advanced than I would like to see for the vintage. Clearly outclassed by LM.

1978, cab but cause of age, smokey, easier to drink - goes down more like a Pinot but with some light tannins

Classic Graves notes with earth, cedar, leather, cigar box but more mature than I like for the vintage. Not my favorite vintage

Sweet black and red fruits that soar out of the glass followed by a nose of raw meat, cedar , cigar box, saddle leather, spice box. Nice acid and finish, med weight with round supple tannins. Nice older vintage for HB.
