Tasted from magnum. In a lovely place right now, immediately after opening and for the next 2 hours. Lovely perfume on the nose, that continues on the palate. Only ding is the relatively lacking finish.

Had to decant due to cork breaking up on opening. Very closed at first but emerging blackcurrant fruits with a metallic tinge. Soft and fruity in the mouth with good balance and a reasonable finish with a slight gravelly after-taste. Was concerned I might have left this bottle too long but it was still a nice wine to drink.

Had this in the same flight as 1979 ch. Latour, so perhaps I am not fair to this wine. But I felt it was a little bit unbalanced allthough it evolved over time, some fruit is still there. Solid Bordeaux.
