Pauillac Grand Cru Classé 1964

Yet another example of how Bordeaux wines with a relatively low classification can surprise with their propensity to age. The red color is quite clear and transparent with distinct orange notes on the edge. The aromas are light yet well-defined with prevailing ones of root and cinchona as well as one of dark cacao. The mouthfeel is upheld by a nice acidity and is subtle yet taut, almost impalpable and splendidly delicate.
