1969: The wine was clear when placed on the table, yet arrived back from opening and decanting (ahem) unfortunately cloudy (note to Somm's). Very fresh nose, while not withholding maturity. Vibrantly nervy and spicy entry, and lively on the palate. Meaty, chewy, table chatter suggested beet root, and positive comment regarding being herbaceous. Held up well throughout, should any bottles still be laying about for ready money. Had the same wine from same cellar 3 years ago with equally happy results.
