Pleasant surprise seems to be the order of the day for 1970 Bdx. Even wines
from estates with as you say spotty reps seem to be holding on, a bit over
the
hill but fading gracefully. In past year or so, besides the Rauzan-Segla,
I've
had the '70 L'Angelus (from a 375!) and Gloria, both held interest (the
Gloria
doesn't really have a spotty rep, but a good 33 yr old Cru Bourgeois is
always
a little surprising).

I've heard good things about Lascombes over lst few years, think there rep is
being restored.

I actually had 1970 Gloria from a 375 this year and it definitely held
interest. I don't have much experience with mature or over-mature wines, but I
thoroughly enjoyed it and wish I could have it again!
