Description
Very bright and surprisingly even colour for age, no doubt reflecting the relatively low pH of '79 Bordeaux.
Fine red center with a brown hue. The nose has earth, bushes, undergrowth, cedar wood, cigar and vanilla. More juicy, red fruit first on the palate. Some cigar and cedar wood on the midpalate, prunes and earth on the finish. Everything is still coming together in this wine, but fully mature now.
Condition
