CHATEAU LAFITE 1979 |

Château Lafite 1979 Pauillac, 1er Cru ClasséGood levels and appearance apart from 1 with small remnants of tissue adhering to labelI 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.
