A bit green but holding on pretty well.

A classic. Nose is dominated with saddle leather, tobacco and a hint of camphor. Presents with an ethereal poise on the palette. Overripe cherries and graphite complete the ensemble. Immense

I only got a taste. But that's all it took. One of the most remarkable things I've ever had.

In fantastic condition. Very Top Shoulder. Firm cork, pulled in one piece. Wine: Fully enveloped in its secondary aromatic life. Forest floor, sweet leather, excellent color, bright aromas, resolved tannin. It makes me think of '66 Latour, a vintage favorite. Off the 66s, probably top 3-4 of vintage.
