  12/10/2017 - William Kelley Likes this wine:

  The Gaunoux Grands Epenots is still at its absolute peak, and one of the best 1979 red Burgundies I have had for some time. A glorious bouquet of kaleidoscopic complexity bursts from the glass with notes of red plum, raw cocoa, candied citrus peel, licorice, anise and summer truffle, preceding a supple, medium-full and elegantly expansive wine, with a sweet core of fruit (likely judiciously chaptalized), rich and melting tannins, and lovely persistence. A brilliant bottle of mature Pommard.
