Nose of red cherry, raspberry, and dried rose petals with notes of baking spice and forest floor. Taste to light to medium-bodied with nice acidity with juicy red berries, cranberry, and a hint of earthiness. At the BH — 15 days ago
Fairly dry and light. A bit of acidity, low tannins. Wish it was more full bodied and complex. Finish also short. — 24 days ago
This was back when André Tchelistcheff was making wine for BV. In fact, it’s because of Tchelistcheff that the Georges de Latour Vineyard was bottled separately in the first place. Decanted prior to service; enjoyed over the course of several hours. This bottle of the 1970 pours a garnet color with significant rim variation; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears and signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with a mix of tart, ripe and dried mostly red fruits: red currants, lingonberries, Bing cherry, tobacco, Poblano pepper, old leather, dry gravelly earth, and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin (integrated) and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. After enjoying the 1981 vintage a couple weeks ago, this is stunning leap in quality. The 1970 is evergreen and stole my heart. Drink now through 2040. — 2 months ago

At seven years old this has hit a good drinking window. Pop and pour delicious. Nice balance. Typical Napa cab fruit. Tannins soft. Cheers! — 6 days ago
