Château Lafite 1979 (3 BT)

Château Lafite 1979 

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 3bn, slightly scuffed labels and capsules, 2 of which stained and slightly torn, wine comes from different importers

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
