We had a 1970 Chateau La Grande , a third growth wine from St. Julian for the Superbowl, along with Cassoulet. It had aged very well, as you might guess. It was not over the hill. Obviously the tannins had receded. The fruit was there and seductively enticing. The wine benefited greatly from decanting on Saturday, and drinking it yesterday. I do cover the decanter with cling wrap to limit the oxygen. Our 1970s are drinking very well. We are drinking them, however.
