1969 Chateau Boyd-Cantenac

JAN 10A level fill, cork soaked and could be pushed in the neck. Bright ruby with brown-orange rim, violets, dried fruits, some tobacco and blackcurrants, dust and cellar, a bit too far, ok intensity, cherrystones, sour finish, dies of in the glass. 83

1969 Chateau Boyd-Cantenac

JAN 10 Fill A/B-level, deep ruby with orange rim, a bit earthy, rotten wood and bark, some cassis and coffee behind, even with that description, seems quite vital. OK acidity, mature tannins, a bit lean body, some iodine and metallic, but then ads with some prunes, clings to its life, but doing it gracefully, way better than any expectation. 81
