Not every day you get to cross something off your bucket list! And for a 67 still had some lovely voloptuous dark fruit. Tannin like fine silk. I cant stop smiling.

Completely alive!
Quite deep still , medium garnet core , medium narrow garnet rim . Rounded smoked plum , undergrowth , touch floral . Plump and round in the mouth , mix of red and dark fruits , quite elegant and medium bodied , pretty good length . Still a touch of noticeable but very fine tannins, though very much integrated into the wine. Elegant and well balanced acidity . Based on this magnum , the wine is fully mature but with a lot of life left. Not the most complex or large scale Petrus by any means , however it has great texture and elegance , harmonious powder fine tannins , just a joy drink now and over the next 10 years perhaps. This was opened and then decanted just before service , followed over 2 and a half hours and was still going strong at the end. Magnum had a level of bottom neck . Drank at Noizé, London .

Unreal. Perfect condition. Super soft and elegant. If it’s a fake, it’s a well done fake!

Wine of the night. 49 years young.... Words can't describe this wine. Youthful and amazing
....... We all had a WTF moment with this gem.

Drank some with Fred at Barnaby, April 26, 2013. You could tell it was good, just didn't survive the environment. A shame, really.

1967...had this about a month ago. I now understand what all the hype is about. It was very much alive with a plum meets savory sage flavor that I hope to always remember.
