Now fully mature - perhaps past it’s best but still vibrant, deep plum, sweet pipe tobacco notes, coffee beans, vaguely oxidized in a positive way. Soft impact in the mouth, relaxed tannins, very drinkable

Fantastic. Merlot was taken seriously in 1974 and it likely had a helping of Cabernet Sauvignon in the mix.

Merlots can be great - aged or young. This is a legendary Merlot from 1974.

10 points just for being alive, but not a transcendent bottle.
