Château Lafite 1979 (8 BT)

Château Lafite 1979

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 8bn, slightly scuffed labels and capsules, 2 signs of old seepage

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
