Tasted as part of a 1979 vertical Bordeaux tasting hosted by nephew ATBridge in celebration of his birth in 1979, 30 years ago. See my review of the 1979 Ch. Margaux. This was very similar, but lighter. Overall, the best '79's were fairly enjoyable; most were just OK; some were undrinkable.

Trentieme Fete d'Anniversaire et degustation de Bordeaux mil. 1979 (Indianapolis, IN): On the nose, thin and green. Initially a nice attack of fruit in the mouth, but quickly diffuses. It was better that this note suggests, but not a wine to pursue.
