Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend

Didn’t have that weight of this classic Château

Faded at first but came back.

Must of been pretty drunk as I found this in my cooking bin...sometimes too much of a good thing and just got lost around Christmas when we broke out a bunch of bottles. Still smells nice 😁

Nice. Still has some life left!!!

DOA. Cork failed

1970 vintage drank in October 2024. Absolutely stunning with minimal tannins. Wish I had more

Surprisingly good given that it had no cork(!) it had dropped into the bottle at some point, the liquid being held in by the capsule alone. Oxidised but not disastrously so, still with some character left. Better with food.

1970...DQ! Corked if only slightly. Cindy my wife has such a nose for TCA...Bummer!

Interesting but probably 5 years too old.
