Fleshy, rich and juicy, mature, not too tannic.
Light and aromatic, too dry, nice but uninteresting.
Nice depth, fresh acidity, firm yet elegant, good fruit and oak, quite tannic.
Dry, getting a bit rusty, decent length.
Nice, clean and supple but very light.
Lively, well-constructed, good fruit and oak.
Dry and a bit hollow, sweet and chaptalised.

Classic Saint-Estèphe, slightly chunky, tannic.
Tasting through a hint of TCA: Firm and relatively powerful, not too dry but quite tannic.
Good wine; aromatic, fleshy, good length.
Excellent wine, complete, oak, weight and fruit.
Fully mature, good depth of flavour.
Medium colour; aromatic, mature and soft but lively, buttery.
Lovely, light and grassy nose; elegant, fresh yet smooth; decent length.
Firm and flavoursome, ripe Merlot, good depth and weight, lovely new oak, long.
Light and dry, too old.
Relatively light, good typicity, nice length, fully mature.
Stylish, aromatic, elegant, medium weight, slightly farmyardy; good fruit, oak and length.
Excellent, good stuffing, spicy and structured.
No match for the 1988. Retaste?
Masculine, dark, spicy, powerful, classy, a real sturdy 1979.
Lovely powerful combination of smoothness and a farmyardy character.
Silky, creamy, well-built.
Seems to have aged very fast, rather light and dry.
A very succesful 1979, good weight, fleshy, flavoursome, lovely oak, ripe tannins.
Is developing well, compact, fleshy, creamy, open.
Rounded, full, smooth and supple, good oak and structure, surprisingly good, drinking well.
