No lot number and unlike the ‘70 lot2 that has gone bad, this one is holding up! Light pale red color with a promising albeit somewhat madeirized nose that gradually opened up to that more complex old wine notes. Still firm texture and acidic bite on palate but not complex and good finish that didn’t last long. Got that very old wine profile but clearly over the hill. Still, drinking history from 50 years ago, can’t nitpick!
