Description

From a West Country cellar where it had been "for ages" according to the late owner's widow. Their very damp cellar has had an effect on the label which is compensated by the very good level - Very Top Shoulder - as seen in the photos.
The vintage on the label is just lisible. There is some very minor damage to the skirt of the foil.

Drank over 4 hours. Initially this was only showing a bit of old faded fruit, but this actually took on more sweetness and weight with time in the glass. A nose of dried fruit, wet bandaids, iodine and earth. It was a little flat in the mouth and had a short finish but a fine example of a great old BDX from a tough vintage.

2011 Special Session 4 - Wine bash of 2011 (Jade Palace Seafood Restaurant, The Forum Shopping Mall, Orchard Road): Popped and poured. Medium ruby core with brick rim. The level is good, corked was a bit soaked through, but generally the condition is excellent. Indeed, the wine showed really well, so much so that the quality of this wine from such a weak vintage impressed everyone. Lively, with the amazing perfume aromas that only Margaux is capable to offer: sweet cassis, violet, cedar, tobacco, soft cigar box all wrapped in a highly focus and captivating aromas profile. While this is a little bit lean, this is still bright and drinking very nicely. Elegance on the palate with amazing liveliness and medium complexity of blackberry, floral, earth, mushroom and salted plum with medium length, juicy finish. Never thought this is showing so well! The magic of 1st growth Terroir?

Wine Bash of the Year 2011 (Jade Palace): This was the bonus of the night. None of us were expecting much, but it turned out to be supremely pleasurable. It had a beautiful nose as would be expected, with gentle drifts of tobacco, a waft of dried flowers, some earth and beautiful cassis notes bringing up the rear. Classic Margaux, and just wonderful. It was the palate that was stunning for a 1969 though. It was obviously not from the strongest vintage given its distinctly mid-weight feel, but it was drinking wonderfully, with velveteen tannins wrapped around super-pure, bright flavours of dark cherries and blackberries and ringed by a lovely, floating halo of dried flowers. Wonderfully integrated, perfectly balanced and beautifully elegant, this was the surprise of the night. It finished with a delicious little pucker of black tea. While lighter weight in the mouth than usual, it must be said that the wine had no problem at pairing with a smoky roast
