Wine notes: "On cue, it was one of the best bottles of this wine that I have ever had, and the first one in a while that hit outstanding territory. It had a great nose of pencil, nut, carob, musk and good' barn, you know, when you're in there with the farmer's daughter lol. The palate was creamy, clean, long and balanced. This was young and fresh for 1970, and it reminded me that drinking Bordeaux is always best when it's older."(95pts JK) Provenance: The Art of Collecting: Fifty-three lots from a successful international restaurateur, who ranks among the world’s most important fine art collectors and approaches wine with the same trained eye.
