Excellent quality here in a package that should age well over the next 6 to 8 years

Not as complete as the 1962 tasted alongside

powerful and quite serious with brooding flavors that brim with dry extract that buffers the firm acid spine on the intensely mineral-driven and explosively long finish

grapefruit and vanilla notes

persistent and palate staining finish

Vieux Chateau Mazerat other_regions_italy Excellent quality here in aThis has ample weight for the vintage, with enticing blackberry and boysenberry confiture flavors inlaid with cocoa powder and dark licorice notes. Theres a tangy iron accent on the finish, but this remains polished overall. The fruit should eventually fill in the available space. Best from 2018 through 2023. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 750 cases made. JM
