After gloomy weather up until the flowering that caused some flower shatter on the Merlots, the summer of 1971 was beautifully sunny and hot right through to harvesttime. The crop was thus low in quantity but of excellent quality.

1971 Vintage
Tasted: Aug 2021
Mittleres Granatrot. Reife, malzige Nase, warm anmutend, dahinter Granatapfel, Himbeeren, Backapfel. Im Gaumen kräftig, kantig, markante Säurestruktur, noch immer etwas Gerbstoff, wirkt etwas burschikos, aber nicht uncharmant, hat Charakter und eine gute Länge. Trinken.

1971 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2004
(2004) A mature musky nose. Nose is angular and a little green. But the palate is surprisingly harmonious. Notes of dried herbs, tea. Quite robust but a more enjoyable claret than Latour 71. Good length. Started to fall apart after 40 minutes. Again, this was a château bottle so beware of others of a lesser provenance.

The 1971 vintage for Bordeaux was relatively good but stopped short of brilliant.
