  With Debbie and Doug at their place. Splash decanted, drank over an hour. Drank next to 79 Mouton. Cork was in good shape, well stored from a great collector.
  
  Color was still rich red/ruby - a little cloudy, some browning at the ridges. Dusted dark fruits, cedar, spices. Fully mature, past its prime but still very enjoyable. Better than the Mouton on this evening...

  Kind of "over the hill." Really disappointing because of being 1st year vintage. However, lady at the winery told us it could be hit or miss for the 1979's and the 1980's and she was right!!!

  Bought 4 bottles last year at an auction. I thought the older the better, well not always. 2 bottles were straight vinegar. The other 2 made up for the ones I had to throw away.Just sublime!!!

  Despite a worn label, the cork was in good shape. Used cheese cloth to reduce sediment and a bit of the cork. Absolutely delicious. Retained its ruby color instead of the brown that ive seen from poorly stored bottles. Delicious way to celebrate my wifes special day today.

  Flawed bottle. Bought for a low price hoping that it would be great. Not so much. Oh well, the anticipation was fun.
