Great poise. A refreshing nose with a hint of pine needle. Bracing and fresh. Lovely

This was from a pristine btl from the restaurants cellar. So fresh and drinking much younger than its 47 yrs. Red berry fruits, exotic spice with leather, tobacco and mocha notes. Very pure and transparent in a feminine style. Reminded me of a 78 - 85 vintage of Pichon Lalande. Surprisingly good!

Once or twice in a lifetime. Lovely bouquet that could be detected a meter away. Elegant red fruit palate that opened up after 15 mins in the decanter. Medium, pretty finish

17/20 Гранатовый с переходом в кирпичный цвет. В первом носе подлесок, яблоко, шерсть. В развитии появляются древесные ароматы, шоколад, спелые красные ягоды. Легкое тело с высокой кислотностью. Во вкусе красные ягоды и апельсиновая цедра. Зрелые, слегка шероховатые таннины. Длительное послевкусие. Красивое старое вино.
