Perfect for a 1970. Plenty of fruit. Cherry and spice and still sweet versus dry tannins. Great wine for my BDay but not quite as old as me.

Aromas of dark cherry, cinnamon, vanilla, tobacco and tea leaf. The dark cherry continues through to the palate with orange peel and light tannins on the finish. Delicious, but a little past-peak. Drink now.

Really nice. 1970 vintage. Light oak on nose. Thin body. Some tart cherry notes.
