1970 Chateau de Fieuzal, Graves Grand Cru, Bordeaux, France

Whoever thought they should change this way of making wine was insane.

The color is a brilliant ruby with a touch of orange. There is a lot more ruby than orange. Nowhere else does Cabernet Sauvignon achieve such elegance. The nose is full of spices and bright cherries without a hint of oxidation. Absolute silk on the palate with delicate fruit essences that grow and linger.

Extraordinary in all aspects.

I miss this type of Bordeaux.
