Groffier-Leger Richebourg 1970
One of those days when you're reorganising your cellar and the cork of a '70 Richebourg drops when you lift it... So you drink it. Perhaps the swiftest way to turn abject agony into limitless pleasure!
Nice healthy morello cherry glow with a slightly watery edge; a nose of toffee apples, rich strawberry juice, and hints of sweet liquorice and vanilla; fantastic palate, though ever so slightly dusty from being driven across town for 7 minute before drinking. Still phenomenal - it just last and lasts, spiralling out and blossoming in the mouth.
This was a bottle with serious ullage (7.5 cm). The other two in my cellar are in great condition so this was very encouraging indeed!
