1979 Château Batailley

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

89 Points

Thursday, 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.
