A little dried in the nose and brown at the edges. Great underlying fruit, but a touch dried out

Amazing Early California style, before things got big. We couldn’t believe, I can’t believe, this wine is 46. (1974!) I don’t think many Californians were as Bordeaux-y as this, or as age-worthy as this, back then.

1974. Taken from BV's own cellar. Amber color. Porty, sherry, cedar and celery. Very clean. Well past it's prime but a solid effort.

Another great Classic Wine Happy Hour in the books! Always a treat to have a designated day each month where guys can pull out some unique bottles!
Amazed at how this is still hanging in there...43 years old! Fruit is almost gone, but there are still some dates, plums, and subdued notes. Pipe tobacco, vanilla, baking spice finish. @Mark Flesher brought this out and what a treat for everyone!
