Back from the dead

1969 Chateau Boyd-Cantenac;

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
