    Another old tasting with the following notes. Love the colour and vibrant nose. Agricole and freshness and it draws nice curtains.

    The color is dark and vivid. The nose is very intense and enveloping, with very floral and mothballed notes of wood and leather as well as butter and red fruits. The palate retains the same aromas in a light and fluffy setting with added chocolate and a little pepper. Overall it is very full-bodied, syrupy and round, but less floral than the 1976
