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.
