Château Lafite 1979 (12 BT)

Château Lafite 1979  

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé 

Levels into the neck, 1 slightly scuffed label, 11 slight tissues adhered to labels, 8 original tissues 

I always thought this was a great 1979 and, at 30 years old, it still is. Last tasted (drunk, actually) from magnum. A lovely meaty, chocolatey nose. Some mint too, as it always had. Beautiful middle taste. Real power, with that mocha/mint finish. A lot of 'matière' here. Some mushrooms on the finish. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
