Given the vintage I expected a lot of concentration and lower acid, but this was very pretty, alive and ready to go today at lunch. Great elegance, nice tertiary development, lovely tannin/acid balance. Earthy, turned soil, turned leaves, cigar, candied red apple skin, dried cherry and blackberry, sandalwood. Nice treat

Truth in labeling, something you didn't see much back in the '70s either. 14% and proud on the label.
