Crazy fresh, bright red fruit like strawberry/rasberry compote. Acid and structure and texture like a 2013 not a 1973. Amazing. #unclebobbyscellar

1969, not the best vintage but drinking well now. Opened and did not decant. Started deteriorating quickly, but the nose held up well. Good american oak, but not too strong. A bit of mushroom, leather, cigar box on the nose.
