Description
Château Lafite 1979
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé
u. 7bn, 3vts, 2ts, original tissues, 4 or which wine-stained, slightly worn capsules, excellent levels, color, and clarity
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
