Community Tasting Note

  • SouthAussie1 Likes this wine: 89 points

    July 25, 2013 - Cork disintegrated during removal.

    Very bright and surprisingly even colour for age, no doubt reflecting the relatively low pH of '79 Bordeaux.

    Straightforward, well-made, and balanced Medoc with nice underlying fruit. Gently astringent and clean finish. A good '79 which should (corks permitting) continue to hold its 'form' for years.
