I mean, it wasn't vinegar. but it also wasn't something I would have enjoyed if not for being my mother's birth year vintage that we had now since we couldn't celebrate her 60th bday during covid. Had it more for the novelty but certainly didn't harbor much expectation given the vintage. My wife called it "Mousey" someone else called it "tart" our host called it "Boring" and I felt it was "flat" so a bit of a ring-around but all agreed the experience of it was good enough.

Bought for peanuts recently at auction this really isn't a bad wine. Yes it is passed its peak but still has both fruit and balance and went very well with roast chicken. Decanted for 90 minutes and only got better in the glass.

At Roberson's Old Wine Event (October 6, 2011). Earth smell, powerful. Not the best 60s BDX tasted that night but not bad either.
