Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé
Badly bin-soiled labels, some detached. Lot 97 levels upper-shoulder. Lot 98 levels top-shoulder or better
In original wooden cases
Tasting sample available
Tasting note: This is one 1970 that appears to possess the necessary components to develop into something special. It remains youthfully hard and astringent, but there is no doubting the high levels of concentration and intensity. Moreover, the wine exhibits a classy, complex bouquet, offering up scents of cedar, black fruits, minerals, and leather. Full-bodied, powerful, and rich, with outstanding concentration, this wine requires another 7-10 years of cellaring - can you believe that? It is unquestionably a 40-50-year wine.
Robert Parker. Wine Advocate 105, June 1996.
