Dark blue fruit. Very pure with lovely savory fruit with a tangy sour cherry note. A bit Nuits Saint George-like. Still great life to this, with great balance. A treat

Should have decanted over night maybe. Ugh, patience would’ve been the right road. Still good. A little past it’s prime.

Has it all. Fruit, acid and would have thought much younger than '76. Also has a lovely funk.

40 years on and still fairly well composed. Was a pleasure to try Richard Sanford's very first vintage with the man himself. Special day.

My birthday year and also the first vintage of this label. Weird but not cooked. Acid was there and hints of the fruit of the region
