B-level, cork soaked through, very mature colour, so nice smell of wet florest floor, creamy notes, released tannins, strong, long powerful aftertaste, still sweet fruit and very balanced for a 75, so traditionel Bordeaux at its very best. 92 p.

This was a bit disappointing as I have had many different bottles from the late releases the Chateau has conducted between 2012-2016 for their 1966-1986 vintages.
The 1966 and 1971 bottles were stunning, but this was maderized, a bit sweet on the nose and palette, and in my view, past it's prime. I certainly would not buy again, especially at this price. (USD 120+)
Christie's Pre-Sale Tasting (Amsterdam): Mature colour, medium-deep; warm nose, hint of cheese rind; attractive weight and more supple than most other 1975's.
