Color, clear red with copper hue; 1st nose, roasted oak; 2nd nose, spices and fruits. On the palate, big body, complex flavors of red fruits, very alive and fruit forward. Velvety and smooth finish. Amazing after 43 years in the bottle. Over powered the 1995 Ducru Beaucallou!!

It's truly impressive when you consider that this wine is 40 years old and it's still hanging in there, especially given the tough vintage.
Sure... This is way past it's peak, has little fruit, and it very secondary / tertiary, but where else can you get 40 year old wine at this price than bordeaux. Its slightly green and herbaceous, but with lots of leather and tobacco. Drank with Anna for her 40th.

Bordeaux, St. Julien with a few extra's (@ My place): Dark carmine. Rich and complex bouquet. Very juicy, pleasant luxurious oak and good bitterness in the finish. A very good wine.
