Brownish red, opaque and a little cloudy. Nice old wine nose with notes of dried currant. molasses, barnyard floor, gravel, Nice richness in the mouth. Short finish. But with air the finish got better.

Every 50th birthday party should end with a birth year wine. What better than an old Bordeaux and one of our favorite producers from Bordeaux? Happy 50th Birthday Sofia a splendid night of great food, friends, wine and environment.

A sleeper from a difficult vintage providing much pleasure. The wine is delicately framed, but redolent of baking spices, camphor, tea and red fruits. Very charming and a delicious drink.
