From 1964 with a decent clean label and embossed capsule.
The level has suffered but after 40+ years what should one expect?
Cabernet Sauvignon 65%, Merlot 30% & Cabernet Franc 5%
For a while horizontal in my racks, there is no sign of any seepage whatsoever but there may have been in the past.

Decided to pop this in honour of our Founding Father, Lee Kuan Yew, who passed on this week. 1964 was a "year of consolidation" for Singapore. Enjoyed this bottle with my wife at La Barca with a delicious florentine steak.
Sour and dried plums, prunes, and red cherries on the palate, hint of lychee and slightly nutty chocolate on the finish, evidence of old oak, distinctly Bordeaux nose, also showing choya, leather, soy sauce, lead, and some earth. Quite an attractive sweet nose. Garnet colour. Initially a bit dead when first popped, felt a bit thin and weak, then it rose from its slumber with a vengeance and tasted 20 years younger after 1 hour in the bottle (this kind of reminds me of one of Mr LKY's speech, "Even from my sickbed, even if you are going to lower me to the grave and I feel that something is going wrong, I will get up.” This bottle was very much alive! Good concentration. Beautiful, elegant tannins that melted in the mouth. 25 second finish. Still holding up well after 2 hours.

ERI Pre Auction tasting (Union League Club, Chicago IL): nose: great classic Pauillac tones of pencil lead, cassis, black cherries, bits of tea leaves, cedar, and some saddle leather. Well evolved and perfectly put together along with holding up very well.
Taste: a bit tired on the palate as the flavours aren't as exuberant as they were on the nose with cassis, black cherries, tea leaves, and leather. Nice light feel, but certainly has seen better days
Overall: This is on the downslope, but this bottle was still excellent. Great nose, but tired on the palate, this was still very much together to provide a very enjoyable and fun experience
