Estimate
A surprise, showing plenty of ripe and exotic fruit for the vintage...with ripe plum and earth character. Full-bodied, with a long chocolate, berry finish.
...very enticing... Cooked meats, allspice a lot of cedar. Beautiful... very finely balanced and tannins are showing so much finesse... silky texture... most alluring of all the late-1970s... a lacy finish... very smooth and harmonious...
It offers a fragrant, cedary, roasted herb, and cassis-scented nose. Rich, with medium body, well-integrated tannin, and some acidity, this is the quintessentially elegant style of Bordeaux that is found nowhere else in the world.
