Tasting notes
This very fine wine is fully mature, and ideally requires consumption. Very dark ruby, with a smooth, round, ripe black currant and cedar bouquet, savory, full, generous flavors, and a slightly tart, acidic finish that detracts from an otherwise fine performance in 1970. Drink now. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 1/85.
