Written Notes

The level on this bottle was quite low, apparently, and the wine seemed old and relatively volatile. There was a certain decayed richness here but it was definitely on the way out. Made during the André Tchelistcheff era at BV.

Dull medium red with a greenish-amber rim. Lower-toned aromas of plum, redcurrant, mocha, chocolate and brown spices are perked up by a suggestion of dried rose. The palate conveys a strong balsamic quality and good energy, but the wine's edgy acidity dominates its strong, salty Rutherford dust and tobacco elements. The tannins are totally resolved but the finish is ultimately a bit sour and dry, and thinning out. Drink up. Incidentally, the harvest in 1965 took place during a period of extreme heat.
