"Since the 2007 article, I had the chance to buy (and have now consumed) a half case of the 1967 Magdelaine in half bottles, which were very tasty indeed, but our recent March vertical tasting was the first time I had crossed paths with this wine in a regular-sized bottle. The wine is drinking very well indeed and is really not far off the quality of the 1971 today, as it wafts from the glass in a classic constellation of cherries, red plums, menthol, nutskin, a touch of sous bois, soil, truffles and a bit of orange peel in the upper register. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complex and still retains an impressive core for a wine that is nearly fifty years of age (and not from a top vintage!), with just the memory of backend tannin, good acids, lovely focus and length and really very good grip for a 1967 claret. Lovely juice that still has a way to go before it starts to dip into that long goodnight."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
