We are drinking a circa 1982. 35 years old! After decanting and letting breath half an hour we stepped into the world of this Bordeaux. The bottle wasn't full. The cork was extremely rotted. First impression, incredibly creamy, jammy and multiple generation of tastes. Soft tannins and long lasting. Earthy and woody. Absolutely shocking how complex this is. It's what makes you fall in love with wine. What's makes you comprehend the life of a wine. We also identified a pine resin and wood notes texture while others found it smoky and raisin-flavoured. One of the best wines we've tried. Revisited after an hour. Noticed it became smokier, earthier and leathery. Cloudiness and rusty colour remains. Wow. Wow. — 8 years ago

High alcohol levels hardly noticed. jammy, strawberry tones - well balanced, no acidity, perfect for my duck breast. Well worth its value - had the 2012 — 10 years ago
