Double-decanted earlier in the day; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 1975 pours a beautiful garnet color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and light some sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of dried reds fruit: currants, cherry, mushrooms, organic earth, spiced meat, tobacco, leather, and a touch of barnyard. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium, integrated tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium. This showed well tonight. Thanks Andy! Drink now.

Currants, plum, and dusty cellar on the nose. Cherry core, with some integrated Brett. Refined tannins say drink now or you'll be disappointed.

Touch of Brett blowing off. Not the boldest Bdx but very pretty.

Layers of red fruit and dried herbs and fresh tomato leaves followed by a silky finish with notes of sandalwood and cedar.

Old school Bordeaux with 12% ABV (if that). Still has surprising acidity/brightness and plenty of life left. Hits you with red cherry, black currant, black plum, mint, herbal, mushroom, earth, forest floor, tobacco, cedar, chocolate. Crazy long finish

Sadly, the cork had failed on this double magnum and left only a brown memory.

This was really a treat. Wonderfully smooth and soft tannins. Tobacco and herbal / medicinal notes (in a good way). Loved.
