This is a beauty of a bottle. I have a soft spot in my heart for wines with age. It is always a treat for me to drink an age worthy bottle of wine. It so rarely happens & too few wines are age worthy. And, this is an age worthy bottle of wine. By the way, a perfect match with foig gras (sp?). Just the aroma itself is worth it. And, I believe it cost $10.99 @ the time. A real treat.

I remember when my father bought a case of the 1970 and the price was about $5-6/bottle. To bad he doesn't have any left. Thanks for the TN. IW

I had this Thursday and it was very uninspiring. Possibly mildly corked, maybe Winebrat will offer his thoughts.

Not sure I would go with TCA infected. It was just off and funky.
