1970 Chateau L'Arrosee

[TheEngineer]

I'm reporting in from Hong Kong these next few week and meeting up with friends other folks.

I was worried that the bottle would be very bottle sick. Super condition bottle. only about 1/4 inch between fill line and the cork. Cork came out in perfect shape.

On opening, this wine was still very fresh after the travel and the colour, while leaning towards the brownish hues, was still mostly deep garent/brick. The winophiles are the table were impressed with the condition.

Nose was very perfumey, but muted after the travel. Lots of secondary notes, nuts, leather, mushroom, but it was light and racy still. It took some time to open back up in the glass.
