Sadly, pretty much past its prime. Aromatics are pleasingly of old wine but the fruit has certainly faded from where our was the last time I tasted this a few years ago. Interesting and educational to drink now, but better with food than on its own.

1970. Beautiful and in a great place. Still vibrant.

Lovely plush, ripe nose. Dark brambly soured blue fruit. Great presence still and supple length.
