I found my older tasting notes for some good and bad older wines. Here are some of my review notes.
1970 Grand Puy Lacoste-Pauilllac,Bordeaux
On the nose there was plummy raspberry jammy notes with some tobacco. On the palate there was more of faded dried fruits than jam with lots of acidity. The wine was alive with its great acidity in it;s long finish with the dried fruits. Past its maturity. Tasted October 2011.
1968 Batailley-Pauillac,Bordeaux
On the nose there was black cassis and notes of dried leather. On the palate, there was hints of faded fruit. The high acidity in the finish was all the wine had left to offer.Past its drinking life. Tasted October 2011.
1995 Chateau la Graviere Tirecul Vendage Tardive Cuvee Madame-Monbazillac,Bergerac,South West France
On the nose honey and caramel were flowing from the glass. On the palate, it was full bodied, rich and cloying. But the finish had the right acidity to balance the sweetness. Average Retail Price is $175 for 500 ml bottle.Tasted October 2011
